Document Summary

However, every human anatomy textbook is the same. Any systemic text is fine, including older editions. Every part of the body must be divided by system. Anatomy: study of the structure of the body. Physiology: study of the function of the body. In this course, we are focusing on structure, not function. Easier to understand structure when you know what the function is. We will learn a little physiology, because it makes it easier to learn anatomy. Fetus through birth, through the life, to death. Not a lot of developmental or microscopic anatomy will be taught in this course. Will be mostly be focusing on this branch. You can find it on a person without cutting them open. Its function is dictated by its structure. What a structure can do depends on its specific form. Start at the chemical level: atoms joined together to make molecules. Molecules join to make a cell: the smallest living unit.
