Unlock practical physiology with hands-on chemistry and living-tissue experiments that illuminate how the body works.

This medical text guides students through the chemical constituents of tissues, the inorganic and organic components, and the proximate principles that constitute proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. It emphasizes step-by-step methods, such as incineration to ash and subsequent tests, to reveal chlorides, phosphates, carbonates, sulfates, and more. The book also covers testing for nitrogen and sulfur, and explains how energy is stored and used in the body.

Learn the foundational chemistry behind living tissues, including how ash analysis reveals mineral content.
Explore practical procedures for testing proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and related extractives.
Follow experiments on nerve, muscle, and heart function, plus cardio- and respiratory physiology.
See how respiration, blood, and the circulatory system are studied with simple, instructional setups.

Ideal for readers who want a clear, hands-on, lab-based introduction to physiology and its chemical roots, as well as practical demonstrations of how the body responds to stimuli and how key systems interact.
