Sažetak
According to the meaning of the syntagma physiological anthropology this branch of biology dealing with functions and vital processes of living organisms or, their parts and organs, became with the joining of biomechanics very close to the main meaning of mentioned syntagma. The closest branch to the physiological anthropology seems to be physical anthropology, which is very often mentioned as bioanthropolgy, and also applied anthropology, but also in some way as applied biomechanics. From this point of view, physiological anthropolgy should have the main scope to investigate various characteristics of the human beings (and other living systems), and how different parts or organs of an organism work together to achieve a particular function. On the other side, the description of the human movement is the task of biomechanics, which depends among other on the distribution of the masses during the motion. On that way the complete motion is controlled by means of physiology of mind. The work is concluded with some modest ideas of future possibilities in the field of physiological anthropolgy, as for example is the development of different new kinds of biomechanical models on a structure and function of the locomotive system of the human beings, involving anatomy, physiology, anthropometry and cybernetics.
