Excerpt from Histology: Normal and Morbid

During life all parts of the human body are the seat of constant activity. This is a fact too readily overlooked by the student who gains his knowledge of the structures of the body by a study of the tissues after death. T 0 make that study of use to him in his medi cal thinking he should constantly bear in mind that he is Viewing the mechanism of the body While it is at rest, and, furthermore, that the methods employed in the study of the minute structure of the parts not only arrest the normal activities of those parts, but expose them to mutilation. He must, therefore, constantly supple ment the knowledge of structure he gains by his histological studies by recalling to mind and applying that which he has acquired by a study of physiology, habitually associating his ideas of structure and functional activity, until he can hardly think of what a struct ure is Without at once recalling what it does. This he cannot do till he has mastered at least the general outlines of systematic anatomy and of physiology. Those two fundamental subjects are brought together by an intelligent study of the minute structure of the body, histology, which, for this reason, has also and appro priately been called physiological anatomy.
