Physiology

"Physiology" by M. Foster is a scientific book that introduces the basic ideas of how the human body works, focusing on how the body’s internal functions let creatures move and stay warm, just like a machine. It encourages people to really look at the body’s structure, suggesting that by dissecting simple animals, like rabbits, and looking at organs, like a sheep's heart, one can grasp the complex ways the body operates. Foster points out that although the rules of physiology are straightforward, they are based on many complicated events, setting the scene to look more closely at movement, warmth, and the complicated systems that keep us alive.
