Explore classic physiology through hands-on tests and clear steps that build practical skills.
This edition presents a comprehensive set of laboratory exercises and demonstrations. It emphasizes approachable procedures, observation, and interpretation of results across topics like protein reactions, fat and carbohydrate tests, urine analysis, and muscle and nerve physiology.
What you’ll experience:
- Step-by-step procedures for common tests (biuret reaction, xanthoproteic test, Trommer’s test, ether extraction, and more) to identify proteins and related compounds.
- Guided experiments on fats, carbohydrates, bile pigments, and muscle constituents with clear outcome notes.
- Hands-on examinations of urine chemistry, including salts, phosphates, and urea separation techniques.
- Illustrative demonstrations of reflex actions and the nervous system using prepared frog and tissue models.
Ideal for students seeking practical insight into physiological chemistry and the methods scientists use to analyze bodily substances.
