About this book
Structure and Functions of the Body is an illustrated handbook of anatomy and physiology for nurses and others seeking a practical knowledge of the subject. The account of the chest describes a dome-shaped cavity in the upper front part of the trunk that contains and protects the heart and lungs. The description identifies the diaphragm as the floor of the chest and lists the trachea, esophagus, vessels and nerves passing through its upper opening.
The account of fetal circulation describes direct communication between the auricles through an opening that normally closes at birth but occasionally remains open. The discussion of the brain calls the organ the seat of intelligence and will and the center of voluntary action.
