Knowledge of human anatomy and physiology specific to medical physics applications, including organ systems, tissue structure, and physiological function.

Anatomy: The study of structure and organization of the body organs and systems.
Physiology: The study of how the human body functions and operates on a cellular and molecular level.
Histology: The study of the microscopic structure and function of tissues.
Embryology: The study of human development from conception to birth.
Pathology: The study of the causes and effects of diseases on the human body.
Neuroanatomy: The study of the nervous system and its components.
Cardiovascular Physiology: The study of the functioning of the heart and circulatory system.
Respiratory Physiology: The study of the functioning of the respiratory system and how we breathe.
Endocrinology: The study of the glands and hormones that regulate bodily functions.
Immunology: The study of the immune system and its function in fighting disease.
Radiology: The study of imaging techniques for diagnosis and treatment of disease.
Pharmacology: The study of drugs, their effects on the body, and how they are used in medicine.
Genetics: The study of genes and their role in inherited traits and diseases.
Microbiology: The study of microorganisms and their effects on human health.
Nutrition: The study of nutrients and how they are used by the body to maintain health.
Neuroanatomy: The study of the structure and function of the nervous system and its related disorders.
Cardiac anatomy and physiology: The study of the anatomy and function of the heart and the physiology surrounding it, including the cardiovascular system, blood flow, and cardiac diseases.
Respiratory anatomy and physiology: The study of the anatomy and function of the respiratory system, including the lungs, airways, and breathing.
Gastrointestinal anatomy and physiology: The study of the anatomy and function of the digestive system, including the mouth, esophagus, stomach, intestines, pancreas, and liver.
Hematology: The study of the anatomy and physiology of blood and its components, including blood cells, plasma, and clotting mechanisms.
Renal anatomy and physiology: The study of the anatomy and function of the kidneys and the urinary tract.
Musculoskeletal anatomy and physiology: The study of the structure and function of muscles, bones, and joints, and conditions that affect them.
Endocrine anatomy and physiology: The study of the endocrine system, including glands, hormones, and their functions.
Reproductive anatomy and physiology: The study of the anatomy and physiology of the reproductive system and related disorders.
Immunology: The study of the immune system, including its structure and function, and diseases associated with it.
