Directions for Class Work in Practical Physiology: Elementary Physiology of Muscle and Nerve and of the Vascular, and Nervous Systems (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
Explore the hands-on science of nerves and muscles with real experiments you can follow at home or in class. Discover how electrical currents and devices reveal the body’s hidden signals and responses.
This practical guide walks you through classic physiology experiments that examine how nerves stimulate muscles, how currents affect contraction, and how nerve conduction works. It blends clear setup instructions with the science behind each observation, making complex ideas accessible.
- Observe how changing current strength and direction alters muscle contraction
- See how constant currents influence nerve conduction and the onset of tetanus
- Learn about electrotonic effects, reflex-like responses, and the history of galvanic experiments
- Explore simple measuring tools like capillary electrometers and galvanometers to track electrical activity
