Although this work has been modelled to some extent on my Outlines of Physiology, now out of print, it is essentially a new book, and as it aims at giving a more detailed account of the subject, the title of Outlines of Physiology has been abandoned for that of a Text Book of Physiology. I have not endeavoured to give anything like an encyclopaedic account of the modern researches that have built up the physiological science of the present time, but rather to weave into a consecutive narrative the main facts and principles of physiology, as these present themselves to my mind, after nearly eighteen years of experience as a teacher of the science. Probably no science is advancing with greater rapidity, if one may form an opinion from the large number of original papers that are announced, month by month, and from the large number of investigators in the physiological laboratories of the Continent, of A merica, and of our own country. Thus it is year by year becoming more difficult for a teacher to keep abreast of the wave of progress, and still more difficult to assimilate the new facts and to incorporate them with his previous knowledge. Each teacher will also view the subject more especially according to his predilections for the morphological, the chemical, or the physical side of the science, and it is not easy in the preparation of such a work as this to be impartial and to present the science in all its completeness to the reader.

As to the amount of water separated in the form of invisible water gas (insensible perspiration), no estimate can be given, as it is impossible to collect it free from admixture with the water of the sweat Rohrig collected from the skin of the arm enclosed in a gas-tight bag 1-6 grm. per hour. The skin may also be regarded as a protective covering, and it is concerned in the regulation of temperature and in the sense of touch or pressure. (See Animal Heat And Touch.) B.--The Kidneys. Chap. I.--THE STRUCTURE OF THE KIDNEYS. On opening a kidney by a longitudinal section, from its outer to its inner border, the solid portion is seen to consist of a cortical and a medullary substance; the latter being in the form of conical masses named pyramids of Mai-" pighi, the apices of which open into a 'space called the sinus (Fig. 209). The cortical part is of a light crimson brown colour and is soft and easily lacerated. The urine is secreted chiefly in the cortical part, and it is conveyed RV by the medullary part into the sinus, from there into the pelvis, or dilated extremity of the ureter, and by the ureter it passes into the ViWldor Fl-209.--Section of a kid iMiiuuti. ney Pi sinua.

The tubes, termed iubuli uriniferi, pursue a tolerably straight course in the medullary portion of the kidney, and they are much convoluted in the cortical portion. Each small tubule begins in the cortex as a capsule surrounding a small spherical body known as a Malpighian body, after its discoverer (Fig. 210, a). The capsule is constricted at the neck, and the tube forming it is then much...

In 1869, he became the assistant to the Professor of Physiology at the University of Edinburgh, John Hughes Bennett, pursuing his own research into the nervous system and special senses. Mckendrick went on to be elected as a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh in 1873, having been proposed by Sir William Turner, serving as a councillor and eventually the vice-president from 1894 until 1900. He took up a post at the University of in 1873, first as an extramural lecturer (one of his students was the physician Sophia Jex-Blake) and then as Professor of “Theory of Physic or Institutes of Medicine” in 1876.
John McKenrick was a popular lecturer, raising significant funds for modernising his department and leading it into concentrating on the study and teaching of physiology.
The name of his position was changed to Professor of Physiology in 1893. In 1891 and 1895 was invited to deliver the Royal Institution Christmas Lecture on Life in Motion.
