By Charles Richard Whittaker

Book Overview

Hughes' Nerves of the Human Body, written by Charles R. Whittaker and first published in 1918, is a comprehensive guide to the nervous system of the human body. The book is based on the work of Sir Arthur Keith and Sir Henry Head, two prominent neurologists of the time. The book is divided into two parts. The first part covers the anatomy of the nervous system, including the structure and function of neurons, the spinal cord, and the brain. The second part focuses on the physiology of the nervous system, including the transmission of nerve impulses, the reflex arc, and the autonomic nervous system. Throughout the book, Whittaker provides detailed descriptions of the various structures and processes involved in the nervous system, along with numerous illustrations and diagrams to aid in understanding. He also discusses various diseases and disorders of the nervous system and their symptoms, as well as methods of diagnosis and treatment. Overall, Hughes' Nerves of the Human Body is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the anatomy and physiology of the nervous system, whether they are students, researchers, or medical professionals.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
