Airways and ENT
COVER ART: Michal Brichacek
FRONT: The left half of the image shows what we as physicians can see. There are few other areas of the body where knowledge of anatomy is as crucial in understanding disease pathology. The airway, ea r, and nose all require an optimal shape to function; the lungs need space to expand. Physiology allows us to understand the integration of structure with function . The right half of the image shows what we cannot see, and rather what we must think. It is essential to look beyond the obvious, considering the underlying anatomy and physiology, in order to understand.
