Excerpt from General ZoologyAnother departure from the preceding editions consists in the attempt to avoid a cleavage between structure and function in the descriptions of individual organs and organ systems, by combining the discussion Of structure with that Of function, as far as possible. The aim, Of course, is to emphasize the essential unity of structure and function. Thus metabolism is discussed in connection with the structure of the individual organs con cerned rather than pigeonholed in a separate chapter. Similarly, examples Of different tissues are described as they are encountered in the study of gross anatomy rather than under a separate head ing at the beginning Of the book, where they have but little meaning for the student.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
