Synopsis

This book provides an introduction into the structure and function of the elementary tissues of the human body. The author describes the origins of cells, classifying and discussing their various forms and functions. By doing so, the author presents the reader with the various tissues within the human body and the role each plays in maintaining and facilitating life. The book places particular emphasis on the properties and compositions of the body's active tissues, specifically nerves and muscles, as well as the blood which carries essential nutrients and oxygen throughout the body. This book has a historical context, being first published in 1882. However, its insights into the structures responsible for the functions of the human body remain valuable. Its contents will appeal to those with an interest in the human body, biology, and anatomy and serves as a valuable reference for students.
