Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Elementary Practical Physiology This book has been prepared with a View of presenting to young students the important facts and principles of human physiology in a concise and intelligible form. In it I have attempted, not only to supply the information which such students need, but also to lead them to think as they acquire their knowledge of the subject. The work meets all the requirements of Stage I. (the Elementary Stage), as set forth in the syllabus issued by the Board of Education, and in similar syllabuses of other examine ing bodies. As. It is intended as a first work on the subject, the anatomy or structure of the body and its organs is described so far as this is necessary to the understanding of their func tions. This includes some account Of the cell, for an elemen tary knowledge of cells and the minute structure of tissues is now essential in order to have any intelligent comprehension of the working of the body and its parts. A large number of illustrations, many of them new in an elementary work like this, have been supplied. A few of these are coloured to further increase their usefulness. Much can be learnt by an attentive study of these figures, and the reader is advised to examine them, with their accompanying descriptions, repeatedly, care being taken to distinguish between a diagram (see Glossary) and an actual drawing of a part.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Course of Elementary: Practical Physiology and Histology In the following, the descriptions in large type apply more particularly to the rabbit, bat the general directions for dissection serve also for the dog: some points in which the two animals differ, and some which are better seen in the dog, are printed in small type. A. 1. Make a median incision through the skin, down the whole length of the front of the body from the neck to the pubis, and reflect the skin as far as possible on both sides. In dissecting a female rabbit note, just underneath the skin, the thin arborescent mammary glands, one to each mamma. 2. Observe the thin, pale, abdominal muscles. It is better to dissect out the individual muscles in the dog as below, but the dissection may be done on the rabbit. In the dog observe a.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Course of Elementary Practical Physiology Ever since I began teaching Practical Physiology in University College, London, I have been in the habit of distributing among my students a syllabus to guide them in their work. By the introduction of fuller details what was at first a Syllabus has been changed into a Practical Course, which I now venture to publish in the hope that it may be found useful to others. I fear that its use will be much restricted by the fact that in it Histology and Physiology are closely combined instead of being separated into two or more distinct courses. Although, in practice at least, I stand alone, I believe, in this matter, continued experience makes me more and more convinced that the plan which I adopt is, though troublesome, the safest one. Histological work, unless it be salted with the salt either of physiological or of morphological ideas, is apt to degenerate into a learned trifling of the very worst description; and students are generally only too ready to spend far too much of their time in the fascinating drudgery of cutting sections and mounting stained specimens. In morphological questions the physiologist has but an indirect interest; and details of microscopic structure ought only to occupy his attention in so far as they serve as a basis for physiological deductions.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Directions for Class Work in Practical Physiology: Elementary Physiology of Muscle and Nerve and of the Vascular, and Nervous Systems The following directions are based upon an experience of many years in University College, London, where such a course of instruction was first instituted by Professor Burdon-Sanderson. Although they have long been in use I have now had them printed for the convenience of my Edinburgh students. There are several text-books dealing with the same subject, but they are all more elaborate, and concern themselves with many problems which the average medical student cannot be expected to investigate for himself. On this account perfectly simple instructions dealing only with such elementary exercises as can readily be worked out by even a large class, may, it is hoped, prove useful to other teachers and students than those for whom they are primarily intended.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Class Book of Practical Physiology: Including Histology, Chemical and Experimental Physiology This volume represents in a more formal setting the notes which the author has been in the habit of issuing to students attending the ordinary course of Practical Physiology in this College. The aim has been to supply the student with concise directions for performing the work which he has to do with his own hands in class. The 'choice of methods has been necessarily governed by their adaptability to class purposes, and as much as possible also by their simplicity. In order that the student may read beforehand the work that is to engage his attention at the next meeting of the class, the subject matter has been divided into lessons, which are indicated by marginal numbers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Elementary Manual of Physiology: For Colleges, Schools of Nursing, of Physical Education, and of the Practical Arts The teachers of physiology in our Medical Schools are greatly handicapped at the present time by the fact that the material which must necessarily be presented to the students in preparation for their clinical years, is so complex that it can scarcely be dealt with in detail in the number of hours of teaching ordinarily allotted to this science. It would indeed be very helpful if the matriculates in medicine could also present certain credits in elementary physiology, in addition to those obtained in biology, physics and chemis try. The only objection that might be raised against the establishment of more extensive courses in elementary physiology in colleges is that this change would tend to cause these institutions to lose their identity and purpose even more than they have at the present time. Obviously, a college is intended to disseminate general knowledge and not knowledge of a special or professional type. Thus, a college which permits its matriculates to crowd diverse courses in the fundamental sciences into the first two years of its curriculum and then passes these young men and women on to the medical schools, fails utterly in its purpose as a means of acquiring general culture.

Download or read book Human Physiology written by John W. Ritchie and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-23 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Human Physiology: An Elementary Text-Book of Anatomy, Physiology, and Hygiene From a considerable experience with both very elementary and more advanced classes, the author has been led to certain con elusions in regard to the teaching of elementary physiology and hygiene. It is not proposed to enter here into a discussion of the correctness of these conclusions, but a brief statement of a few principles that seem fundamental may perhaps be allowable. The chief object of teaching physiology in the public schools is to train the pupils to keep their bodies in health. The mere teaching of anatomy and physiology will not accomplish this, for the pupil cannot master the structure and workings of the body in a way that will enable him to frame the laws of health and apply them. Neither can the desired end be reached by teach ing rules of health without an anatomical and physiological basis; for without such a basis, hygiene is an intangible and an elusive subject. The author has therefore concluded that a conservative middle course is wiser than either of the extremes of method mentioned above. An elementary text in physiology should be a balanced text, containing sufficient anatomy to make clear the broader outlines of the structure of the human body, enough physiology to make plain the great laws according to which the body lives, and a full discussion of how a violation of these laws may be avoided. For the introduction of certain new matter, as, for example, the cell idea, the work of enzymes, and matter relating to germ diseases, there is little need for explanation. The groundwork of physiology and pathology has in recent years so shifted and extended itself, that the subject-matter of an elementary course must to a considerable extent be altered if it is to furnish 3.
