It's helpful to study them together because it's important to understand how the structure (anatomy) of an organism is related to its function (physiology).

Answer:

To know the structure and function of the organisms of the body.

Step-by-step explanation:

Anatomy is the study of the structure of the different organs in the body while Physiology deals with the function of those organs. The 2 branch of science deals with the link between different organs and how they work together. For example, if we know the digestive system, then we need to know the function of the system. Then only we can create an idea about its physiology and anatomy. We shiver in cold and feel hot in summer. How our body deal with such extreme temperature and maintenance of the thermal equilibrium all belong to anatomy and physiology. To know all the structure, the function of various organ system one should study both anatomy and physiology.
