What are anatomical adaptations?
Anatomical adaptations are physical characteristics or features of an organism that have evolved over time to help it survive and thrive in its environment. These adaptations can include changes in the size, shape, structure, or function of body parts such as limbs, organs, or sensory organs. Anatomical adaptations are often the result of natural selection, where individuals with traits that are better suited to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce, passing on those advantageous traits to future generations. These adaptations can help organisms to obtain food, avoid predators, find mates, and generally improve their chances of survival and reproductive success.

What are anatomical physiological adaptations?
Anatomical physiological adaptations refer to changes in the structure and function of an organism's body in response to environmental pressures. These adaptations can include changes in organ size, shape, and function, as well as alterations in physiological processes such as metabolism, circulation, and respiration. These adaptations allow an organism to better survive and thrive in its specific environment, and can be the result of natural selection over many generations. Examples of anatomical physiological adaptations include the development of specialized respiratory systems in aquatic animals, or the ability of desert animals to conserve water.
