The text emphasizes both the anatomical and functional understanding of the human body, aiming not only to educate about bodily structures but also to connect this knowledge to principles of health and wellness. The opening of the book introduces the field of physiology, igniting curiosity by highlighting fundamental questions about human life, such as how food contributes to the body’s intricate structures and the processes that sustain life. Blaisdell establishes the book's pedagogical approach, stating the importance of practical experiments alongside theoretical study to foster understanding. He underscores how physiology serves not just academic pursuits but also applies directly to personal health and living well.
