Difference between Anatomy and Lung

Anatomy vs. Lung

Anatomy (Greek anatomē, “dissection”) is the branch of biology concerned with the study of the structure of organisms and their parts. The lungs are the primary organs of the respiratory system in humans and many other animals including a few fish and some snails.

Similarities between Anatomy and Lung

Anatomy and Lung have 50 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amphibian, Ancient Greek, Arachnid, Artery, Autonomic nervous system, Basement membrane, Blood vessel, Bronchus, Buccal pumping, Caecilian, Cartilage, Central nervous system, Cilium, Connective tissue, CT scan, Embryogenesis, Epithelium, Esophagus, Fetus, Frog, Gas exchange, Gill, Heart, Homology (biology), Invertebrate, Liver, Lizard, Mammal, Microscopic scale, Muscle, ..., Organ (anatomy), Osteichthyes, Phagocytosis, Reptile, Respiration (physiology), Respiratory tract, Silicon dioxide, Smooth muscle tissue, Snake, Spider, Swim bladder, Tetrapod, Thoracic diaphragm, Thorax, Tissue (biology), Tuatara, Turtle, Vein, Vertebral column, Vertebrate.
