EXPERIMENTAL PHYSIOLOGY 



PRELIMINARY 



As a preliminary to any course of Experimental Physiology, the 

 following dissections should be made : 



Frog. In this the following parts are to be displayed : 



(a) The brain and spinal cord, with the nerves passing off from 



them. 

 (6) The heart, with the main vessels leading to and from it. 



(c) The lungs. 



(d) The abdominal viscera, including stomach, small intestine, 



large intestine, liver, spleen, kidneys, bladder, and 

 reproductive glands. 

 (e) The nerves and muscles of the leg. 



Rabbit. 



(a) The skull to be opened, and the several parts of the brain 



examined. 

 (6) The trachea and the blood-vessels and nerves on either 



side of it to be displayed, and to be followed as far as 



possible both upwards towards the head and downwards 



into the thorax. 



(c) The contents and boundaries of the thorax to be examined. 



The several parts of the heart to be observed and the 

 vessels which are connected with it. After removing the 

 contents of the thorax, the sympathetic ganglia and 

 the nerves (splanchnic) leading downwards from them 

 towards the abdomen should be noticed. 



(d) The abdominal and pelvic viscera to be displayed. 



(e) The nerves and muscles of one of the hind limbs to be 



dissected. 



Since these dissections form a part of every course of Biology, the 

 student will probably already be familiar with them. If not, they 

 should be made now.
