Inhaltsangabe

A practical, hands‑on guide to physiology with classic experiments and real lab techniques.


This edition compiles step‑by‑step exercises from a historic course in physiology, focusing on the nervous, muscular, cardiovascular, and chemical systems. It presents how to set up experiments, observe responses, and record measurements using standard laboratory apparatus of the period. The book emphasizes hands‑on learning with clearly described procedures, from nerve excitation and induction shocks to recording circulatory and respiratory movements.

• Electrical stimulation of nerves and muscles, including make/break shocks, faradisation, and unipolar excitation


• Use of induction apparatus, short circuits, and Helmholtz modifications to control stimuli


• Techniques for measuring heart and blood‑vessel activity with cardiographs, sphygmographs, and electromotive recordings


• Foundational chemical physiology topics, such as starch, dextrin, sugar tests, urine analysis, and related reactions

Ideal for readers seeking historical laboratory methods, clear procedural guidance, and a window into how early physiology education was conducted. It’s well suited to students, instructors, and anyone interested in the practical side of physiology.
