A Course Of Elementary Practical Physiology by Michael Foster is a comprehensive laboratory manual for an elementary physiology course. It integrates anatomy and physiology through guided dissections, histological observations, and physiological experiments. The work presents a structured program designed for two-term courses, with lessons beginning from basic tissues such as blood, muscle, and nervous tissue, and advancing to complex systems including the vascular, digestive, respiratory, urinary, nervous, and reproductive mechanisms. Detailed dissection instructions compare rabbit and dog anatomy; numerous techniques for tissue preservation, embedding, staining, and microscopic observation are described, along with demonstrations and practical notes on reagents and laboratory practice. The text emphasizes understanding structure–function relationships by linking microscopic anatomy with physiological function, and it provides a framework for using microscopes, mounts, and demonstrations to develop experimental skills and critical scientific reasoning. It serves as an instructional bridge between elementary biology and advanced physiology.
