William Francis Ganong fu un botanico e storico canadese che contribuì in modo significativo alla comprensione storica e geografica della sua nativa provincia del New Brunswick. La sua carriera professionale si concentrò sulla botanica, prestando servizio come professore al Smith College. Tuttavia, nella sua vita privata, si dedicò profondamente allo studio della storia e alla cartografia della sua terra natale, creando spesso le proprie mappe delle sue esplorazioni. Il suo interesse durato una vita per la natura e le lingue, inclusa la conoscenza delle lingue indigene, arricchì la sua ricerca.
This review presents anatomic considerations, physiology and clinical examples. Ganong begins with an introduction to the cellular bases of medical physiology, and cell physiology is interwoven into the text where applicable.
