Basic Anatomy and Physiology

Why understand basic anatomy and physiology? Well – it’s like this. People in top condition have a good understanding of the human body, or at least they have people around them with a pretty good understanding.

I like to compare it to electricity. We don’t really know what electricity is! But, we certainly know how it behaves!

Likewise: our bodies. We need to know how our bodies behave.

We feed our bodies fuel – we add oxygen and our activity uses the two to create energy. That is the basic process that we need to know. Understanding how to take advantage of the process will take some discipline of diet and exercise.

Here are the basics from which we will build.

• Blood flow and the Heart,
• Oxygen flow and the Lungs, ,
• Efficiency of absorbing oxygen, ,
• Converting food to energy. ,
