Anatomy - Anatomy is the science of the
orderly structure, shape, or construction of an organism and its parts.
How an organism is built up or formed. The basic unit of tree
construction is the cell with a definite boundary. Wood cells
have a tough boundary made up of cellulose and lignin mostly. The
tough wood cells give the tree strong mechanical support. Anatomy
must precede physiology. Anatomy is the parts and physiology is the
processes.

Parts and processes. You see the system keeps repeating, repeating and
repeating in many different ways – in nature, anatomy, physiology, and life.
Anatomy means the parts and again, as they move, as energy comes in, as the
parts move in a highly ordered way, they become processes in the system.
Anatomy means to cut apart [a n atom y] buts its more than that. Its to cut
apart in a systematized way so that it can be put back together. Any fool can
take apart a watch. Some can even put it back together again. But will it still
run and tell time? That’s what anatomy is all about.
Physiology means movement of the parts. Energy is required
to grow, maintain, produce exudates (think taxes), reproduce, and defend the
moving parts. As energy reserves decrease, order goes to disorder, and the
clean-up crew enters. As the system goes from order to disorder the cleanup
crew will come in for the remaining energy. Remember no matter who you are
you cannot break the rules, the laws of nature. The first law is the
Conservation of Matter. You can’t make it, you can’t break it, you can pass
it on, but you can’t make it or break it.. Remember that.
