Experiments On The Metabolism Of Matter And Energy In The Human Body, 1898-1900 (1902)

Experiments On The Metabolism Of Matter And Energy In The Human Body, 1898-1900 (1902) is a scientific book written by Wilbur Olin Atwater. The book is based on Atwater's experiments on the metabolism of matter and energy in the human body, which were conducted between 1898 and 1900. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a specific aspect of metabolism, such as the digestion and absorption of food, the production and utilization of energy, and the excretion of waste products.Atwater's experiments involved measuring the amount of oxygen consumed and carbon dioxide produced by individuals while they engaged in various activities, such as resting, walking, and running. He also measured the amount of food consumed and the amount of waste excreted by the individuals.The book provides detailed descriptions of Atwater's experimental methods, as well as the results of his experiments. It also includes numerous tables and graphs that illustrate the data collected during the experiments.Overall, Experiments On The Metabolism Of Matter And Energy In The Human Body, 1898-1900 (1902) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the science of metabolism and the human body's ability to convert food into energy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
