Correct action is dependent upon correct thinking. The more familiar a man is with the laws of nature the more he will obey them and work in harmony with them, to the benefit of himseu and his fellows. In no branch of education is this connection between knowledge and conduct or welfare more direct than in that which deals with the study of our own bodies, and of the laws and practices which must be observed in order to maintain a condition of health and activity in these bodies that is, the study of physiology and hygiene. For upon the observation of these rules of hygiene depends the preservation of health, a first essential for usefulness as well as enjoyment in life. He can best and most intelligently observe these laws who is familiar with and understands the facts from which they are deduced, the phenomena of physiology. This study should therefore be a part of the education of each and all of us. It should be taken up in youth, for it is during this period that the organs and tissues of the body, the frame, the heart, the brain, are growing and taking on the character which they keep throughout life, and that the practices and habits which are the most deep-seated and fundamental are forming. The health and character then acquired often prove the bed rock of the whole physical, mental, and moral development. The errors committed then are often irreparable, and it is the province of our educational systems to insure that at least these errors shall not be committed through ignorance. In preparing a text-book for this purpose of general education in the schools, the point to be kept most in mind is the unity of the subject. The physiology is the description of how our bodies are nourished and how they work. The hygiene is the code of instructions which directs how to keep this body nourished and in working order, and is deduced directly from the study o(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)

These free surfaces of the two parts of the pericardium, the part lining the heart and the part forming the sac, move freely upon each other with the movements of the heart. The cavity between them contains a little fluid secreted by the cells of the serous membrane. The heart is conical in shape, the broad end, or base,uppermost, thecone end, or apex, below. The apex lies opposite the point of the chest wall at which we can feel the heart beat most strongly, between the fifth and sixth ribs to the left of the sternum. At the base of the heart the large arteries run out. Here at the base on each side is a flat, soft, earlike structure connected with the firmer part below. These flabby structures are the appendages of the auricles (Latin auris, "ear") of the heart. The firmer parts below inclose the ventricles (Latin venter, "belly"). The heart consists of four chambers--two auricles, right and left, and two ventricles, right and left. At the base, Heart and lungs in chest. a, arteries and veins to head (right); b, arteries, veins, and nerves to arm (left); ft, heart; I, lung (drawn back); p, pericardium. posteriorly and to the left, lies the left auricle. In the comparatively thin walls of this cavity are four small openings, the apertures of the pulmonary veins, which bring the blood from the lungs. In the lower wall of the auricle is a large opening to the left ventricle. The left ventricle lies in the lower part of the heart, to the front and left. The walls of this cavity are very thick and firm. Upon its upper wall is the opening from the left auricle. This opening is covered by a valve made up of two flaps, the bicuspid or mitral (...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself.

We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
