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.
