Mader's Understanding Human Anatomy Physiology

Аннотация

Anatomy and physiology both involve the study of the human body. Anatomy is concerned with the structure of a part. For example, the stomach is a J-shaped, pouchlike organ (Fig. 1.1). The stomach wall has thick folds, which disappear as the stomach expands to increase its capacity. Physiology is concerned with the function of a part. For example, the stomach temporarily stores food, secretes digestive juices, and passes on partially digested food to the small intestine.
