Anatomy and Physiology
Anatomy is the study the structures of the body.
Physiology is the study of the functions of the body.
There are some great books that will help you with each, but first you need to focus on what part of the body you'd like to learn about!
The body is comprised of multiple systems, each one with it's own job!
Knowing the Different Systems of the Body
C- Circulatory System
R- Respiratory System
E- Endocrine(Glands) System
M- Muscular System
I- Integument(Skin) System
N- Nervous System
D- Digestive System
E- Excretory System
R- Reproductive System
S- Skeletal System
Each system has a special function in the body, and you can learn how they not only work alone, but how they interconnect and work together!
More Anatomy
If you're looking for a great list of bookmarks on anatomy, you can check out my other Squidoo lens on Human Anatomy which offers even more resources!One of the top books I recommend to anyone interested in anatomy is Frank Netter's Atlas of Human Anatomy. It's one of THE best!
If you're looking for physiology book, I love "Anatomy of Movement" for understanding movement.
(Side note:Pathology: A to Z is excellent)
Pathology is the study of diseases
Skeletal System and Muscular Systems
Your skeletal system works for you by giving your body shape and support. Many muscles attach to your skeletal system, it helps produce blood cells, and it protects some of your internal organs.
Your muscular system is comprised of over 600 muscles! There are different types of muscles. The cardiac muscle is involuntary, while most others are voluntary. You have many different types of muscles in your body.
Muscles have three parts, a non-moving part called the origin, a belly (the center of the muscle) and the insertion, which is the movable end.

Circulatory System, Respiratory System and Nervous System
The respiratory system helps bring in oxygen, and remove carbon dioxide. We use our breathing passages such as our nasal passages, our trachea, and then our lungs. Our diaphragm helps control breathing also.
The nervous system is made up of our nerves, our brain and our spinal cord. Nerves help us react to impulses, feel things, and respond properly. Some of our nerves work both voluntarily and involuntarily.
Nervous System
How the Body Works : The Anatomy of the Central Nervous Syst
The Anatomy of the Central Nervous System The nervous system is a complex network of nerve cells and nerve fibers spread throughout the body. Its function is to interpret, store, and respond to information received from inside and outside. The central nervous system or CNS, consists of the brain and spinal cord and is responsible for processing information gathered from the rest of the nerves and transmitting instructions to the body. Messages passing to and from the CNS are carried by the nerves of the peripheral nervous system. This system includes twelve pairs of cranial nerves and thirty-one pairs of spinal nerves. The cranial nerves and the spinal nerves control voluntary movements and sensations. The autonomic nervous system, consisting of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerve fibers, controls such involuntary body functions as the heartbeat.

Anatomy Site and Bodyworlds
An exhibit you'll find around the country, and just an incredible learning experience is called Bodyworlds. You can find their website here, and usually see their exhibit in a museum. We saw it when it came around to the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia, and it was nothing less than incredible!
Endocrine, Integument, Digestive, Reproductive and Excretory Systems
The integument system is your skin, your sensory organs, and include things like nails, hair and more. If you're interested in an esthetics career (skin care), you can find another Squidoo lens I've created here: Esthetician Info
The digestive system breaks down food you eat into waste and nutrients. Your body uses enzymes to help break down the food in your body.
The reproductive system helps you reproduce. Both internally and externally the male and female have different organs and parts of the reproductive system.
The excretory system includes your kidneys and liver. The job of the excretory system is to remove waste from your body.
