Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Comprehensive Anatomy, Physiology, and Hygiene Adapted for Schools, Academies, Collecges, and Families: With Instruction on the Effects of Stimulants and Narcotics, and Brief Directions for Illustrative Dissections of Mammals, for Elementary Work With T He Microscope, for Physiological Demonstrations on the Human Body, and for the Management of Emergent Cas
It has been my endeavor to make a practical treatise. The ana tomical, histological, and physiological portions have been expressed in as direct and simple language as the nature of the subject seemed to admit. The directions for dissection, for microscopie work, and for demonstrations upon the human body have been so designed as to place their execution within the power of the average teachers in the American public schools. As far as possible the hygienic sections have been made concise, definite, and practical. The anatomy and physiology of a part have been given in contiguous paragraphs, rather than by a chapter upon the anatomy of a system followed by a chapter upon its physiology. The arrangement of the topics in each chapter, when the subject would admit, has been that which appeared most logical. The consideration of the motory and vocal systems was assigned to the later chapters, because of the intimate dependence of these systems upon the activities of the centres of the central nervous system. Numerous references from section to section have been introduced for the convenience of the teacher and for the assistance of the pupil. Chapter XV. Has been designed to give, in a concise form, the best of the easily-executed methods of procedure in emergent cases, occurring in the school, in the home, in the workshop, on the road, and on the farm. The glossary has been made unusually full and complete, and is pro vided with references to the sections, the text of which serves to express more fully the meaning of certain terms. Quantities have been expressed in terms of the metric system, the equivalents of the same being placed withi n brackets. Questions have been pro vided for the sections printed in coarse type.
