About this title

Synopsis

This book presents a historical account of how chemistry and physiology combined to demonstrate how living things are composed of chemicals that react and change much as chemicals do in the nonliving world. The author shows how the chemical properties of the fluids and solids of animals were discovered through animal experimentation and how these properties affect our understanding of biological processes such as digestion, respiration, and circulation. By detailing these chemical interactions, this book provides a foundation that all biologists should have for understanding the workings of the human body.
