Synopsis
Excerpt from The Elements of Physiological Physics: An Outline of the Elementary Facts, Principles, and Methods of Physics; And Their Applications in Physiology
The modern development of Physiology has been largely due to the application to this branch of science of physical and chemical principles and laws. Physics and chemistry are now constantly appealed to for aid in working out physiological problems; and the physiologist finds himself continually resorting to physical methods and apparatus, both for purposes of illustration and research. In some respects, therefore, the study and the teaching of Physiology have become increasingly difficult because of the broadening of its relations with other sciences.
In the teaching of the subject at the University of Glasgow the want has been felt of a small text-book for students, in which the elementary facts and principles of physics might be given together with their physiological applications, and in which might be included some detailed description of physical apparatus and methods as adapted to physiological purposes. To meet this want to some extent, a series of weekly demonstrations was given by me to the students attending the class during the winter months; and one of the results of that series is this text-book.

The Elements of Physiological Physics (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an accessible overview of the basic laws of physics as they relate to electrical systems in the human body. Through concise text and informative diagrams, the author introduces fundamental concepts in the fields of frictional and current electricity, with a focus on their application to physiological and medical contexts. Starting with a look at the history of electricity, the book examines the theories and discoveries that have shaped our understanding of electrical phenomena. It then explores the fundamentals of electrical circuits, including current, voltage, and resistance, and explains how these concepts apply to the functioning of muscles, nerves, and other bodily systems. The author also covers more advanced topics such as electrical stimulation, electrotonus, and the physiological effects of electrical currents. This book provides a practical foundation for understanding the electrical principles underlying physiological processes, making it an invaluable resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the fields of physiology, biophysics, and medicine. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330469385_0
