4. “Why all this interest in the human body
“Why all this interest in the human body? The answer to this question seems quite clear to me: your body is the only thing you carry with you from the moment you are born until your very last breath. Knowledge of one's body, its structure (how it is put together) and its function (how it works) represents some of the most practical, useful information a person could possibly want to possess.”
Dr. Roy Glover, Medical Director Former Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology University of Michigan
