What reading level is A Text book of Physiology book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In the same animal, the sweat-fibres for the fore-feet leave the spinal cord by the anterior roots of the sixth, seventh, and eighth thoracic nerves, but also, to a less extent, by the nerves above and below. Passing into the sympathetic chain, they ascend to the ganglion stellatum, with the nerve-cells of which alone they are connected, and by the branches of this ganglion reach the branchial plexus and so the median and ulnar nerves. The course of the sweat-fibres in other animals is probably... very similar to the above. In the horse the sweat-fibres for the side of face and in the pig those for the snout appear to run in branches of the fifth nerve and not in the facial ; in the latter animal at least some of these fibres reach the fifth nerve from the cervical sympathetic, but apparently not all. 355. The fact mentioned above that in the horse, after section of the cervical sympathetic nerve on one side of the neck, profuse sweating is apt to break out on that side of the face, has suggested the idea that this nerve conveys inhibitory impulses to the sweat-glands of the head and face, and that when it is divided the sweat-fibres running in the fifth nerve, having nothing to counteract them, set up sweating.
