Anatomy. The Revelation of Man

The human organism is studied by three sciences — anatomy, physiology, and hygiene. Anatomy studies the structure of the organism. Physiology studies the functions of organs and the entire organism as a whole. Hygiene studies the conditions necessary for the preservation and strengthening of health. Among these three sciences, anatomy is traditionally considered the most difficult to understand both in schools and in higher educational institutions. There is an opinion that anatomy can only be mastered through rote memorization. Memorize, memorize, and memorize again! Otherwise, there’s no way! However, this is not the case. If one considers the human organism as a single system rather than a set of separate organs, it immediately becomes clear how logical it is arranged. One should not memorize, but think — understand the purpose of each organ, see the interconnections between organs and systems, etc. With such an approach, there will be nothing to memorize.
