I imagine that Anatomy and Physiology are somewhat related and that there would be a logical order to take them. Any recommendations on which class to take first would be appreciated.

Most schools require the anatomy course as a prerequisite to physiology. For those that don't, it is up to you. Best to take anatomy first because it forms a basis for physiology.

Can you take them together?

At my school, anatomy&physiology is one class, 2 semesters long (A&P 1&2).

Hi there! In our school, particularly in nursing course, anatomy and physiology is also taken as one subject. However, in biology courses, anatomy is a prerequisite of physiology. You have to be familiar with all the structures first before moving on to function...

Your academic advisor will tell you what the institution requires and in what order.
