Synopsis

A clear, hands-on introduction to the respiratory system through detailed dissection notes and anatomical structure.

This edition guides you through the trachea and lungs with careful descriptions of their form and function. It explains how elastic tissue strengthens the trachea, allows stretch, and helps keep air passages open as you move the head. You’ll also read about how the trachea branches into the two bronchi and how the lungs present three surfaces, distinct lobes, and contact with surrounding membranes. The material blends practical dissection observations with explanations of how structure supports breathing and food passage.

- Learn how the tracheal rings, elastic tissue, and surrounding muscles work together to keep the airway open.
- Understand how the bronchi divide and how cartilage and muscle arrange themselves in the lung tissue.
- Recognize lung surfaces, lobes, and the way the heart shapes the mediastinal surface.
- See how inflation exposes the lungs’ form, texture, and the resilience of their fibrous framework.

Ideal for readers of anatomy who want concrete, stepwise insight into the respiratory organs and their connections to nearby structures.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Treatise on Practical Anatomy for the use of medical students, I have not been influenced by the hope that I should be able to add anything new to the fund of knowledge which is to be found in the various works which have been written on anatomy; nor have I expected to be able to introduce much that would be new to any one who has had much experience in teaching practical anatomy. As our medical institutions are now organized, the student must expect to obtain his knowledge of anatomy from two distinct sources namely, the anatomical theatre, and the dissecting-room. In the anatomical theatre, he is taught anatomy after whatever plan is adopted by the Professor of that department in the institution with which he happens to be connected. Here, every part requiring dissection passes through the hands of the Prosector before it is presented to him for his inspection, all the parts not at the time under consideration having been removed. In this way, the student is taught anatomy systematically; he has each system, as the muscular, the vascular, c., presented to him by itself. He is also provided with what is called a text-look, in which he finds everything presented in the same order as in the lectureroom. Thus, in learning anatomy in this way, he is required to do but little more than to listen to what is told him, to observe the illustrations employed by the lecturer, and to read his text-book.
