It can also be defined as being the study of how various parts of the body interact and work together. PHYSIOLOGY is the study of how living organisms function. That includes nutrition‚ movement‚ and reproduction. So you are pretty

    ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY The pelvis is a large semicircular bone complex that forms the base on which the torso and upper body are positioned. The pelvis‚ which is a rigid and inflexible portion of the skeleton‚ is built to provide a foundation of the movement of other parts of the anatomy‚ particularly the back and the legs. The pelvis also permits the weight of the entire upper body to be evenly distributed
