Introduction
Life is a tricky proposition. It is difficult, messy, fragile, and a lot of work. The bodies of living animals have to be organized just right and maintained within very narrow limits to allow the hectic choreography of life to unfold throughout their lives.
We don't usually think of animals as living mechanisms, but the study of anatomy and physiology is really the study of the animal machine, what makes it up, and how the whole thing works. The language of anatomy and physiology uses terms like cells, tissues, organs, and systems, but we're really talking about the component parts of this living machine. These living parts are amazingly intricate and their functions delicately interrelated. As veterinary health care professionals, we must understand how animals are put together and how their bodies work. Fortunately, the animal body is fascinating to study in and of itself, but even more so when we appreciate how important normal anatomy and physiology are to animal health.
The various parts of the body must work together in near-perfect harmony to maintain the life and well-being of an animal. The interesting part of this truth is that the apparently simple and automatic states of life and health are not as they seem. Life is not simple, and health is not automatic. Life is extraordinarily complicated, and health is the result of numerous things going just right. At first glance it seems as though health is the normal state of affairs, and dis...
