Physiology: Illustrated by Experiment
Explore physiology through hands-on experiments and clear, labeled illustrations that bring the body to life. This edition presents experimental and descriptive physiology with practical demonstrations, including dissection work and labeled diagrams to help you see how the body works. It’s designed for normal schools and colleges, pairing straightforward explanations with real classroom activity.
From how saliva begins digestion to the effects of pancreatic juice, pepsin, and amylopsin, you’ll follow step-by-step experiments that show, not just tell, how organs process food. The book emphasizes active learning, with labeled test tubes, practical lab setups, and guidance for teachers to connect theory to real observation. It stresses thoughtful eating, rest after meals, and the link between mind, nerves, and digestion, all presented in an accessible format with color illustrations and labeling that clarifies complex ideas.
Hands-on experiments on digestion, including saliva’s action on starch and the role of enzymes like Ptyalin
Guided lab work on gastric and pancreatic juices, including emulsification and protein digestion
Practical apparatus and lab setup advice, with labeled diagrams and hands-on dissection notes
Ideal for teachers and students seeking a clear, activity-based approach to physiology.
