1. Anatomy- study of the structure and shape of the body and its parts. Physiology- study of how the body and its parts work or function. The relationship between anatomy and physiology is that anatomy has to do with the structures and names of the body‚ while physiology has to do with the function and how the structure works. An example of their correspondence is the cardiovascular system‚ consisting of the heart and blood vessels (anatomy) and how the heart pumps oxygen‚ nutrients‚ and wastes

in the damaged organs? The area is vulnerable because all of the visceral organs in the peritoneal cavity are not protected by the rib cage. The rib cage only protects the pleural half‚ which contains the heart‚ lungs. The kidneys‚ stomach‚ liver and other peritoneal visceral organs are unprotected by apparatus.

Introduction Glucose-6-phosphase (G6Pase) is an enzyme presented in liver and used in the hydrolysis of glucose-6-phosphate (G6P). This catalyst the final step in glycogeneogeneis and glycogenolysis which is the key point of homeostatic regulating the blood glucose levels in our bodies. In the experiment‚ we will determine the activity of G6Pase. Frist‚ we will extract the G6Pase from pig liver sample. Then‚ we will assay for the liver G6Pase by enzymatic digestion and phosphate determination. Finally
