Anatomy and Physiology Practice Sheet
Introduction
Anatomy and physiology are two related fields of study that examine the structure and function of the human body. Anatomy focuses on the structure of the body, while physiology focuses on how the body functions. This practice sheet will help you understand and learn more about anatomy and physiology.
Level 1
- What is the difference between anatomy and physiology?
Answer: Anatomy is the study of the structure of the body and its parts, while physiology is the study of how the body works and its functions.

- What is the role of the respiratory system?
Answer: The role of the respiratory system is to take in oxygen from the air and deliver it to the cells of the body, and to remove carbon dioxide from the body.
Level 3
- What is the difference between an artery and a vein?
Answer: An artery is a blood vessel that carries oxygen-rich blood away from the heart, while a vein is a blood vessel that carries oxygen-poor blood back to the heart.
