Explanation:

1.

Physiology is defined as the study of the functions and mechanisms of the body. So the term that fits the description "the study of the nature of the body and how it functions" is physiology.

Microscopic anatomy deals with the study of structures that can be observed only with a microscope, like cells. Studying cells in gastric pits requires microscopic analysis, so it's an example of microscopic anatomy.

The hypogastric region is the region of the body located below (beneath) the stomach. So the body region beneath the stomach is the hypogastric region.
