Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the human body's physiological functions, aimed at those seeking more than a cursory understanding. Going beyond the standard medical dictionary's dry explanations, the author delves into the complex orchestration of the human body. The book opens with an overview of… the body's intricate systems and their remarkable efficiency. Physiology is contrasted with histology - while the latter focuses on tissue structure and analysis, physiology is an in-depth examination of how tissues perform. The author posits that the primary cause of consumption, a prevalent concern at the time of writing, is a deficient mucous membrane and not the widely held notion of tuberculosis, a novel concept that challenges conventional wisdom of the time. The book delves into the physiology of various bodily functions, revealing the complex interplay of cells and organs, the role of stimuli in regulating respiration, and circulation, the importance of gastric juice production in the oesophagus, and even the nature of sensation, countering prevailing theories. Ultimately, the book underscores the interconnectedness of the human body, further emphasizing the profound significance of physiology in understanding not only the mechanics of the body but also the nuances of health and disease. 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.
