La palabra anatomía significa cortar el cuerpo para examinar sus partes. La fisiología es el estudio del comportamiento de los sistemas corporales. Si las funciones no se tienen en cuenta, el estudio de la forma es estéril; por esto, la fisiología se erige en complemento de la anatomía. La anatomía es una disciplina descriptiva y la fisiología, experimental.
Este texto, excepcionalmente claro y bien ilustrado, proporciona una introducción ideal a la estructura y funcionamiento del cuerpo humano. La composición y las propiedades de los tejidos corporales se describen completamente, además de la anatomía del brazo, de la pierna, del abdomen, del tórax, de la cabeza, del cuello y de la columna vertebral. La segunda parte del libro se centra en la nutrición, las funciones de los diversos sistemas corporales y los procesos biofísicos y bioquímicos relacionados. Los términos técnicos se explican siempre de forma clara y sencilla.
Éste es un libro especialmente útil para estudiantes de enfermería, medicina y profesiones geriátricas.
