Anatomy is the study of structure, which can be studied at several different levels. Physiology is the study of function. Structure determines function, so a strong foundation in anatomy is essential for the study of physiology.

Physiology is the scientific study of the normal function in living systems with a focus on how organisms, organ systems, organs, cells, and biomolecules carry out the chemical or physical functions in a living system. Anatomy and physiology make a natural pair of related disciplines that are often studied together.

Amine hormones are derived from amino acids, including melatonin and thyroid hormones. Peptide hormones, like insulin, are formed from amino acid chains, while steroid hormones come from cholesterol and include reproductive hormones.
