Anatomy is the study of the structures of body parts and their relationships to one another (both internal and external structure). Physiology is the study of the functions of the body and how living organisms perform the various functions of life.
The Department of Physiology, Anatomy and Genetics at the University of Oxford is the largest pre-clinical department within the Division of Medical Sciences. In the Research Assessment Exercise 2008, the Department, together with the Department of Pharmacology, was ranked as the top pre-clinical department in the nation.
Aston University is placed in the Top 5 for Anatomy and Physiology in 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007 - The Guardian (includes subjects such as Optometry, Audiology and Human Biology).
