Anatomicophysiologic

/ˌænətɒmɪkoʊˌfɪziəˈlɒdʒɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to both the structure of body parts and how they function.

Etymology

Combining Greek 'anatome' (structure), 'physis' (nature), and 'logos' (study), this term emerged as scientists realized that form and function are inseparably linked.

Kelly Says

A muscle's anatomicophysiologic nature explains why its particular shape allows certain movements—the structure literally determines what the tissue can do.
