PrefaceThe first illustrated edition of "The Changing Face of Anatomy - Abdominal Sitas" led the attentive observer into a fascinating new world - the adventare of man.The subject of this edition is the changing face of the motor of life, the organs within the chest, in the course of five centaries. Beside their physiological functions, they also have emotional and metaphorical imphcations.New developments in diagnostic methods, from percussion and auscultation to modem radiodiagnosis, have given scientists a more precise view of the phantastic interior of the human chest. The emphasis was not placed exclusively on the investigation of biological processes but also on the elucidation of pathological phenomena, which are often produced by microorganisms and cause infectious diseases.The adventare of man has kept not only scientists but all mankind in suspense since ancient times. This fascination continues as long as mankind exists.Bayer
