INTRODUCTION 3 



anatomy enters into a minute detail of their forms and structures, 

 and gives a systematic description of the parts ; while morbid 

 anatomy is the study of diseased or morbid structures, and under 

 comparative anatomy a comparison of the structures of various 

 animals are made. 



8. Physiology is the study of the functions or the work that the 

 different organs of the body perform in health. Thus, the function 

 of the liver is to secrete bile ; the kidneys, urine ; and the mam- 

 mary glands, milk, etc. 



9. Pathology treats of the derangements and diseases of these 

 structures and functions, and is the principal object of this work. 

 To make the subject better understood, it is here divided into 

 various sections, the general anatomy and physiology of the different 

 parts being at the same time briefly touched upon.
