Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Dissection of the Dog, as a Basis for the Study of Physiology
The directions for dissection have been divided into seven chapters, with the idea that a fresh dog would be used for each chapter with the exception of those upon the muscles of the shoulder and arm, the brain, and the eye, requiring therefore four dogs for the entire work, though a smaller number may be made to answer. To obtain the most satisfactory results, how ever, one must be careful not to attempt to dissect too much upon a single animal. When the student is at work upon the blood-vessels he should not be required to dissect at the same time the peripheral nervous system. A much better knowledge of the circulatory organs, especially of their relations to each other, will be obtained if they are dissected as a whole. After learning the anatomy of the blood-vessels the nerves can be dissected with greater success, and their rela tions to the arteries and veins determined more easily.
