Delve into the chemistry of muscles and nerves with ten clear, foundational lectures.

This edition brings together lectures delivered in London and New York to explain how muscular tissue is built, how it contracts, and how nervous tissue metabolizes energy and substances.

In these pages you will explore the basic makeup of muscle and nerve, the proteids and plasma found in muscle, the chemistry of contraction, and early insights into the metabolism of nervous tissue. The work also surveys cerebrospinal fluid, heat and fatigue phenomena, and the experimental approaches that shaped early biochemistry of life.

What muscular tissue is made of, including proteids, muscle plasma, and salts.
How contraction alters chemical processes and what fuels the change.
How nervous tissue metabolizes substances, including discussions of fatigue and regeneration.
Historical context and the laboratory methods that advanced biochemistry of muscle and nerve.

Ideal for readers interested in the historical foundations of physiology and biochemistry, especially those curious about muscle and nerve chemistry.
