Explore the building blocks of the human body with hands‑on physiology.
This field‑guide‑style course invites you to follow the progression from fundamental tissues to the body’s major mechanisms, using practical observations and clear explanations.
The text introduces the structure and properties of tissues, then shows how these tissues work together in organs and systems. It emphasizes a practical approach, with guided dissections, demonstrations, and notes that help students think through what they observe. The goal is to build a solid, working understanding of physiology through careful study and experiment.
- Examine tissues such as blood, muscle, and nervous tissue, and see how they connect in the body’s mechanisms.
- Follow a structured plan of laboratory work, including dissections and microscopic observations.
- Learn how physiological ideas are tested through experiments and demonstrations.
- Develop practical skills in observation, reasoning, and using prepared materials to learn physiology.
Ideal for readers beginning the study of physiology, this edition sets a solid foundation for later, more advanced work.
