Quain's Elements of Anatomy

Abstract

IN this further contribution to the eleventh edition of Quain's “Elements of Anatomy” Prof. Symington describes the following systems of the human body:—Digestive, Respiratory, and Urogenital. Two minor sections are devoted to the ductless glands and peritoneum, the latter being written by Dr. P. T. Crymble. During the eighteen years which have elapsed since the tenth edition appeared—under the joint editorship of Sir Edward Schafer and Prof. Symington—anatomists, physiologists, and particularly surgeons have altered our conception of the splanchnology of the human body in many and important details. These changes are reflected in the text and illustrations of the new edition of “Quain.”
