About This Book

The text presents an accessible secondary-school course in human physiology that pairs concise anatomical descriptions with functional explanations and practical hygiene guidance. Chapters treat the skeleton, muscles, exercise, nutrition and digestion, blood and circulation, respiration, skin and kidneys, the nervous system and special senses, voice and throat, and first aid, as well as poisons, bacteria, disinfectants, and care of the sick-room. Emphasis is placed on experiments and microscope work that students can perform with simple apparatus, and on applying physiological principles to personal health and daily living.
