Анатомия на пальцах. Для детей и родителей, которые хотят объяснять детям
Организм человека изучают три науки – анатомия, физиология и гигиена. Анатомия изучает строение организма. Физиология изучает функции органов и всего организма в целом. Гигиена изучает условия, необходимые для сохранения и укрепления здоровья. Среди трех этих наук самой трудной для понимания, что в школах, что в высших учебных заведениях, традиционно считается анатомия. Бытует мнение, что анатомию можно одолеть только зубрежкой. Зубрить, зубрить и еще раз зубрить! Иначе никак! На самом же деле это не так. Если рассматривать человеческий организм как единую систему, а не набор отдельных органов, то сразу становится ясно, насколько логично он устроен. Нужно не зубрить, а думать – понимать назначение каждого органа, видеть взаимосвязь между органами и системами и т. п. При таком подходе зубрить ничего не придется.
