PREFACE 



IN presenting this work to the nursing profession 

 the author has endeavored to cover in as clear and 

 untechnical a manner as possible the essentials of 

 anatomy and physiology. No theories have been 

 included, except those which have been definitely 

 accepted by teachers of the subjects. Emphasis has 

 been placed on the description of organs and their 

 functions which are of fundamental importance in 

 the practice work of the nurse. 



The questions at the end of each chapter are added 

 as a means of reviewing the subjects. 



The glossary has been added with the object of 

 explaining all technical words in the text.
