Excerpt from Lessons in Physiology for Beginners: Including Brief and Plain Descriptions of the Most Important Parts of the Human Body and the Action of Alcohol and Other Stimulants
TO write a book for beginners in any branch of knowl edge is no easy task. The author realizes the difficulties in the way, and freely admits his inability to produce a perfect work in this line. Years of experience, how ever, in teaching Physiology to all grades of pupils, from the child Of ten years to the medical student Of twenty five, have qualified him, in part, for a task of this kind. Therefore, without further apology, this little book is submitted to the public to stand on its intrinsic merits.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a comprehensive guide to human physiology for beginners, written by an experienced teacher. It begins by exploring the basic building blocks of the human body: cells, tissues and organs; before moving onto the skeletal and muscular systems; explaining how we move and how to take care of our bones and muscles. The book then describes the digestive system, explaining not only how we take in and digest our food, but the importance of food and drink choices to our overall health. It concludes by examining how our bodies extract oxygen from the air we breathe, and how the circulatory system delivers nutrients and oxygen to, and carries waste products away from, every part of the body. The author provides exercises and questions throughout to help the reader test their understanding as they progress, and includes a glossary of terms to help anyone new to the subject. By the end, the reader will have a firm foundation in the basics of human physiology, and will be equipped to make more informed choices about how to look after their own bodies.
