Sinopsis
Excerpt from First Principles of Medicine
The color of the blood is caused by red particles diffused through a transparent fluid which is called serum (whey), from its resemblance to that fluid when blood is first drawn the red particles may be seen floating about by the means of a microscope, but when it stands they settle down to the bottom and form a cake or clot (called cruor or crassamentum).
Some capillaries are too small to admit the red particles unless when they are enlarged by inflammation, as in the eye, which when inflamed changes from white to red; besides that, even the red capillaries are so minute that they are not visible Individually to the naked eye till enlarged by inflammation.

Excerpt from First Principles of Medicine
The first step towards treating disease successfully, is to ascertain as far as possible, the nature of the alteration which has taken place in the seat of the disease, or what has been called technically the proximate cause; in default of this knowledge which is sometimes unattainable, we can only depend upon analogies, drawn from what we know to be the fact in other cases, and from physiology, which is a careful observation of the phenomena resulting from the functions of the different parts in health.
An accurate knowledge of the functions in their healthy state is the more necessary, because considerable deviations from the ordinary routine take place without disease, and as they are frequently much disturbed without any discoverable alteration in the structure of the organs having taken place, morbid anatomy alone will not be sufficient to elucidate all causes of disease, whilst on the other hand it is necessary to be aware that a considerably diseased change of structure may exist with little or no interruption of function.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the nature of disease and how we can treat it, drawing upon the latest developments in physiology to understand the inner workings of the human body. Rich with medical history, the author traces the evolution of medical knowledge, from early observations of external diseases to the invention of clinical medicine and the advent of modern surgical techniques, such as those used to repair broken bones. The author goes on to describe the complex processes by which our bodies are nourished and renewed, focusing on the roles of the arteries and nervous system. Innovations such as the use of microscopes and the discovery of red blood cells are highlighted as key moments in our ongoing quest to understand how the body functions in both sickness and in health. This book will be of particular interest to medical students and practitioners, as well as anyone curious about the history of medicine and the science behind how our bodies work.
