Product Description
Excerpt from A Manual of Human Physiology, Vol. 1: Including Histology and Microscopical Anatomy; With Special Reference to the Requirements of Practical Medicine The fact that Professor Landois' "Lehrbuch cler Physiologic des Menschen" has already passed through Four large Editions since its first appearance in 1880, shows that in some special way it has met the wants of Students and Practitioners in Germany. The characteristic which has thus commended the work will be found mainly to lie in its eminent practicality; and it is this consideration which has induced me to undertake the task of putting it into an English dress for English readers. Landois' work, in fact, forms a Bridge between Physiology and the Practice of Medicine. It never loses sight of the fact that the Student of to-day is the practising Physician of to-morrow. Thus, to every Section is appended - after a full description of the normal processes - a short resume of the pathological variations, the object of this being to direct the attention of the Student, from the outset, to the field of his future practice, and to show him to what extent pathological processes are a disturbance of the normal activities. In the same way, the work offers to the busy physician in practice a ready means of refreshing his memory on the theoretical aspects of Medicine. He can pass backwards from the examination of pathological phenomena to the normal processes, and, in the study of these, find new indications and new lights for the appreciation and treatment of the cases under consideration. With this object in view, all the methods of investigation which may with advantage be used by the Practitioner, are carefully and fully described; and Histology, also, occupies a larger place than is usually assigned to it in Text-books of Physiology. A word as to my own share in the present version: - (1.) In the task of translating, I have endeavoured throughout to convey the author's meaning accurately, without a too rigid a

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a comprehensive introduction to human physiology. Physiology is the study of how the human body and its organs function. The author begins by discussing the basic principles of physiology, such as the laws of thermodynamics and the concept of homeostasis. He then goes on to describe the different organ systems of the body, including the circulatory system, the respiratory system, and the digestive system. The book is written in a clear and concise style, and it is well-illustrated with diagrams and figures. It is an excellent resource for students of physiology, as well as for anyone who is interested in learning more about how the human body works. The author's approach is unique in that he integrates historical and comparative perspectives into his discussion of physiology. This approach helps readers to understand how physiological concepts have developed over time, and how they relate to the physiology of other animals. The book also includes a number of thought-provoking questions and exercises, which encourage readers to think critically about the material they have learned. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
