Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the relationship between the sensory and motor nerves in the muscles of the face of animals, particularly the frog. The author's intention is to demonstrate the sensory nerves have quite different functions than motor nerves, and that these nerves exist outside, but near the Sarcolemma. The author uses this evidence, along with his broader knowledge of the field, to challenge and reshape the existing research on nerve endings in muscles fielded by previous experts, such as R. Wagner and Reichert. The book's significance lies in its provision of essential background knowledge for other researchers and its potential to reshape the existing understanding of the interaction of the sensory and motor nerves in muscles.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the mysteries of sound within the circulatory system. The author first explains how murmur detection and interpretation have long been key to uncovering hidden heart defects. Drawing on centuries of observations, this book dismisses the widely held but ultimately incorrect view that murmurs originate from friction caused by blood cells bumping against one another or the vessel walls. Through extensive experimentation, the author demonstrates how vessel shape, elasticity, and their interaction with blood flow create audible phenomena within the body. By understanding the physics of sound as it relates to the cardiovascular system, physicians can better interpret the murmurs they hear, which will improve the diagnosis and care of many conditions.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book traces the groundbreaking history of embryology, the study of the formation and growth of embryos. It starts with the initial discoveries of ancient Greeks, such as Aristotle, going on through the work of 17th-century scientists like Fabricius and Harvey. It then delves into the revolutionary research of 18th and 19th-century scientists such as Wolff, who first conceived the idea that embryos can arise only from living matter, and Pander and von Baer, who discovered the germ layers and fundamental organs. The book also considers advancements during the mid-19th century, including those of Schwann, who discovered that cells make up all living things. The author demonstrates how these and other groundbreaking discoveries shaped embryology and our understanding of the formation and development of life itself.
