Book Description
Excerpt from Further Advances in Physiology The volume now put before the reader by the editor is a sequel to "Recent Advances in Physiology," and deals with certain branches of the science other than those dealt with in that volume, the treatment of the subject-matter being, in both, on the same general lines. The aim of the editor and his coadjutors has been to write up their views on certain selected subjects which, both by their importance and interest, will stimulate the student, give him a view wider than that which the ordinary text-book can give him, and at the same time rivet his attention on subjects which have a particular application to Pathology and Clinical Medicine. While the former volume dealt mainly with problems of metabolism, secretion, and excretion, this is devoted to the consideration of certain problems concerning the circulation and respiration, the neuro-muscular system, and vision. Prof. B. Moore, writing on the relation of the heart-beat to its nutritive fluid, has developed this subject into a general consideration of the equilibrium of colloid and crystalloid in living cells. Mr. Martin Flack has discussed the present position of the myogenic and neurogenic theories of the heart-beat, and analysed the recent researches which have modified the lines of thought on this subject. Dr. Thomas Lewis has given the reader an account of the venous pulse, and those methods of investigating the cardiac cycle in man which have done so much, in the hands of Dr. James Mackenzie and others, to elucidate the different forms of heart trouble. The editor has dealt, firstly, with the wonderful advances in experimental method made possible by Carrel's surgical union of the blood-vessels; secondly, with blood pressure and its measurement in man.

Practical Physiology (Classic Reprint)

Pages : 500
Book Description
Excerpt from Practical Physiology Physiology is the basis of medicine, and the further advance of these sciences depends mainly upon the experimental method. The medical student, the future physician, should undergo a training in practical physiology, for thereby he learns the most important of all lessons he learns to observe, to draw conclusions from his observations, and to unravel the causes of his failures. The importance of practical physiology is undoubted, but as to the nature and scope of the experimental work, which is most suitable for the medical student, there is considerable difference of opinion among teachers of physiology. In this country, perhaps, too much stress has been laid upon the physiology of muscle and nerve for the hope that a study of the properties of these tissues will unfold the enigma of life is likely ever to remain without consummation. An advance in the knowledge of the living organism as a whole, one organ reacting upon another, has been gained by experiments upon the living animal, treated as a unit and not as a collection of separate organs and tissues. Such practical physiology needs extension in the courses of instruction given to students. It should, as far as possible, have a direct relation to medicine.

The New Physiology and Other Addresses (Classic Reprint)

Book Description
Excerpt from The New Physiology and Other Addresses Ivhen we look back on the history of physiology, it seems perfectly evident that physiological progress has been dependent on the progress of physics and chemistry. On this point there is no room for doubt. To take only one example, where should we be in the investigation of animal metabolism but for the ideas and experimental methods furnished to us by physics and chemistry? We should know next to nothing about respiration, animal heat, nutrition, or muscular and other work. Physiology depends at every turn on physics and chemistry, and its future progress will certainly be equally dependent on advances in physical and chemical knowledge. This consideration has, I imagine, weighed very heavily in the minds of those physiologists Who have concluded that physiology is nothing but applied physics and chemistry. A further fact which weighs equally heavily is that in spite of diligent search nothing contradicting the fundamental laws of conservation of matter and energy has been discovered in connection with living organisms.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Physiology for Medical Students and Physicians In the preparation of this book the author has endeavored to keep in mind two guiding principles: first, the importance of simplicity and lucidity in the presentation of facts and theories; and, second, the need of a judicious limitation of the material selected. In regard to the second point every specialist is aware. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Recent Advances in Physiology and Bio-Chemistry This book was designed to set before the student of medicine the progress made in those branches of physiological study which have an immediate bearing on pathology and therapeutics, and to thereby give him an insight into the methods of research, and a' training in the processes of deduction, which cannot be gained from the bare and unstimulating outlines of the text-book. In the text-book all branches of physiology are treated as of equal value; in reality many parts of the science have little bearing on practical medicine, while others are of fundamental importance and cannot be studied too deeply. Some of these latter the Editor and his co-workers have endeavoured to treat in such a manner as to make the student think out problems, rather than to learn facts in a parrot-like way.
