Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
Physiology has now become so wide in scope that the ordinary student must limit his attention to matters which have a direct bearing upon his professional work. Fortunately the study of this limited field affords ample opportunity for cultivating the scientific methods of observation and of thought, which should be gained by the student before approaching his clinical studies. In writing this book, I have endeavoured to recognise and to adhere to these limitations, and hence many parts of physiology which occupy considerable space in the ordinary text-books have been relegated to minor positions, while parts which have a direct bearing upon the study of medicine have been purposely given a prominence which their importance, when viewed from the purely scientific standpoint, would hardly warrant. Physiology, like anatomy, must be studied practically.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book begins by explaining the essential components of protoplasm, the life force, and the nature of cells. Through the study of a simple yet powerful organismâ"yeastâ"the author demonstrates how life is sustained by a continuous cycle of metabolic processes. The author explains how protoplasm uses energy to break down complex substances and extract the energy needed to fuel growth and repair. The text then explores the chemistry of proteins, which are identified as the crucial components of protoplasm and the sole source of nitrogen and a vital source of carbon in nutrition. The reader will also find a chapter dedicated to the classification of proteins, examining their physical and chemical properties. The book provides an in-depth look at the structure of cells and their functional components, including the nucleus, centrosomes, and various cytoplasmic organelles. The author sheds light on the intriguing processes of mitosis and cell division, providing detailed descriptions of each stage. Finally, the book delves into the realm of tissues, the building blocks of the body. From the protective layers of epithelial tissue to the connective tissues that provide support, lubrication, and nourishment, this book offers a comprehensive overview of their structure, function, and significance. Whether an avid scientist or a curious reader seeking to unravel the mysteries of life, this book promises to enrich your understanding of the fundamental principles governing the living world. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
