An Introduction to Physiology offers a hands‑on path to understanding living systems through original experiments and observation.
The text presents a new, student‑centered approach to learning physiology. It combines experiments, observations, and discussion of results, anchored by clear references to original sources. Designed for rapid use in class, it emphasizes simple, precision apparatus and practical data gathered from real experiments. The volume surveys core topics—from the general properties of living tissues to the body’s energy use, respiration, and nervous system function—through a laboratory lens.
Structured to complement lectures, this edition collects fundamental and accessory experiments in a concise format suitable for Harvard Medical School students and other readers with an interest in physiology.
- Hands‑on exploration of nerve, muscle, and energy concepts through experiments and demonstrations.
- Emphasis on observation, data collection, and linking findings to original research.
- Accessible methods and apparatus designed for scalable use in teaching labs.
- Clear scaffolding across topics from tissue properties to respiration and metabolism.
Ideal for students, instructors, and readers seeking a practical laboratory perspective on physiology.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
