|
What does the principle of complementarity of structure and function mean?
|
• Function reflects structure,
* what a structure can do depends on its form |
|
|
Give two example of the principle of complementarity of structure and function.
|
• Bones can support and protect body organs because they contain hard mineral deposits
• Blood flows in one direction through the heart because the heart had valves that prevent backflow |
