Chapter 1 PDF: Anatomy and Physiology

Summary

This document provides an introductory overview of human anatomy and physiology. It covers topics such as the study of normal body structure (anatomy) and the study of how the human body functions (physiology). Important concepts including cells, tissues, and organs are also highlighted.
