Excerpt from Histology: Normal and Morbid
During life all parts of the human body are the seat of constant activity. This is a fact too readily overlooked by the student who gains his knowledge of the structures of the body by a study of the tissues after death. T 0 make that study of use to him in his medi cal thinking he should constantly bear in mind that he is Viewing the mechanism of the body While it is at rest, and, furthermore, that the methods employed in the study of the minute structure of the parts not only arrest the normal activities of those parts, but expose them to mutilation. He must, therefore, constantly supple ment the knowledge of structure he gains by his histological studies by recalling to mind and applying that which he has acquired by a study of physiology, habitually associating his ideas of structure and functional activity, until he can hardly think of what a struct ure is Without at once recalling what it does. This he cannot do till he has mastered at least the general outlines of systematic anatomy and of physiology. Those two fundamental subjects are brought together by an intelligent study of the minute structure of the body, histology, which, for this reason, has also and appro priately been called physiological anatomy.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book comprehensively examines the organization and activity of the human body from the viewpoint of cells. Published in 1898, it belongs to the early era of histological research that coincided with the rapid advancement of physiology in the 19th century. The author, a keen observer of cellular behavior, sought to present a detailed description of the cell and its various functions with the hope of bridging the gap between the minute structure and functional activity of the human body. To provide a cohesive picture of the human body, the author starts with the embryonic development of cells and their gradual specialization in various tissues and organs. Along the way, he discusses the histological methods used to experimentally study cells. The author emphasizes that cells are the common element in all tissues and that their activity defines the function of the tissue. Moreover, he focuses on the critical interplay between cellular activity and the structure of a tissue, suggesting that a disruption in one leads to a change in the other. Overall, this book provides a readable introduction to the structure and activity of cells and tissues that set the stage for continued histological research in the 20th century.
