Synopsis

An Introduction to Physiology offers a hands‑on path to understanding living systems through original experiments and observation.

The text presents a new, student‑centered approach to learning physiology. It combines experiments, observations, and discussion of results, anchored by clear references to original sources. Designed for rapid use in class, it emphasizes simple, precision apparatus and practical data gathered from real experiments. The volume surveys core topics—from the general properties of living tissues to the body’s energy use, respiration, and nervous system function—through a laboratory lens.

Structured to complement lectures, this edition collects fundamental and accessory experiments in a concise format suitable for Harvard Medical School students and other readers with an interest in physiology.

• Hands‑on exploration of nerve, muscle, and energy concepts through experiments and demonstrations.


• Emphasis on observation, data collection, and linking findings to original research.


• Accessible methods and apparatus designed for scalable use in teaching labs.


• Clear scaffolding across topics from tissue properties to respiration and metabolism.

Ideal for students, instructors, and readers seeking a practical laboratory perspective on physiology.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
