What term refers to the study of the functions and activities performed by the body structures?

Anatomy
Physiology
Biochemistry
Histology

The correct answer is: Physiology

The term that refers to the study of the functions and activities performed by the body structures is physiology. Physiology focuses on how organs and systems within the body operate and work together to maintain life and health. This includes examining processes such as muscle contraction, respiration, circulation, digestion, and more, providing a comprehensive understanding of how the body functions at various levels, from cellular to systemic. Anatomy, while closely related, specifically deals with the structure of the body and its parts rather than their functions. Biochemistry explores the chemical processes within and related to living organisms, mostly at a molecular level, which does not directly address the physiological processes of the body as a whole. Histology studies the microscopic structure of tissues, which is also more focused on the composition and arrangement of tissues rather than their functional activities.
