Color Atlas of PhysiologyThis 5th edition has been thoroughly revised in terms of content and organization of the didactic material; almost all of the colour illustrations have been drawn anew for improved clarity. The extensive introductory chapter focuses on aspects of cytophysiology. |

Page 198 - PR interval measures from the beginning of the P wave to the beginning of the QRS complex.
Page 2 - ... of final causes for the facts that they observe; while physiologists are inclined to acknowledge an harmonious and pre-established unity in an organized body, all of whose partial actions are interdependent and mutually generative. We really must learn, then, that if we break up a living organism by isolating its different parts, it is only for the sake of ease in experimental analysis, and by no means in order to conceive them separately. Indeed when we wish to ascribe to a physiological quality...
