- Summary:
- The term Physiology is derived from two Greek words, which, united, signify the science of life. In its widest sense, it is applied alike to animals and vegetables, but is more generally used in reference to man. The study of this science has heretofore been mostly confined to members of the medical profession, and others only who possessed very general information on scientific subjects. But of late it is happily becoming a popular branch of education, and its importance as such is now generally acknowledged. To trace the development of the organs and functions of the human system, and to observe in some degree the analogy and correspondence of the external part with the internal, --of the body with the soul, --will be the object of the following pages.
