Seite 335 - The sudoriferous glands are abundantly distributed over the whole surface of the body; but are especially numerous, as well as very large, in the skin of the palm of the hand and of the sole of the foot. The glands by which the peculiar odorous matter of the axillae is secreted Fife.
Seite 169 - These foramina are of course purely imaginary, but no one ventured to dispute their existence till Servetus boldly stated that he could not succeed in finding them. He further asserted that the blood passed from the Right to the Left side of the heart by way of the lungs, and also advanced the hypothesis that it is thus "revivified...
Seite 6 - If watched for a minute or two, an irregular projection is seen to be gradually thrust out from the main body and retracted ; a second mass is then protruded in another direction, and gradually the whole protoplasmic substance is, as it were, drawn into it. The Amoeba thus comes to occupy a new position, and when this is repeated several times we have locomotion in a definite direction, together with a continual change of form. These movements, when observed in other cells, such as the colourless...
Seite 182 - ... or floor of the chest, or of both, that the capacity of the interior shall be enlarged. By such increase of capacity there will be of course a diminution of the pressure of the air in the lungs, and a fresh quantity will enter through the larynx and trachea to equalize the pressure on the inside and outside of the chest.
Seite 281 - It is then braised in a mortar, until it forms a pulpy mass, and subsequently boiled in distilled water for about a quarter of an hour. The glycogen is precipitated from the filtered decoction by the addition of alcohol.
Seite 271 - The walls of the gall-bladder are constructed of three principal coats. (1) Externally (excepting that part which is in contact with the liver) is the serous coat, which has the same structure as the peritoneum, with which it is continuous. Within this is (2) the fibrous or areolar coat, constructed of tough fibrous and elastic tissue, with which is mingled a considerable number of plain muscular fibres, both longitudinal and circular. (3) Internally the gall-bladder is lined by mucous membrane,...
Seite 64 - This phenomenon may be observed under the most favorable conditions in blood which has been drawn into an open vessel. In about two or three minutes, at the ordinary temperature of the air, the surface of the fluid is seen to become semi-solid or jelly-like...
Seite 362 - Filtration. — This part of the renal function is performed within the Malpighian corpuscles by the renal glomeruli. By it not only the water is strained off, but also certain other constituents of the urine, eg, sodium chloride, are separated. The amount of the fluid filtered off depends almost entirely upon the blood-pressure in the glomeruli. The...
Seite 42 - Yellow marrow fills the medullary cavity of long bones, and consists chiefly of fat-cells with numerous blood-vessels; many of its cells also are in every respect similar to lymphoid corpuscles. From these marrow-cells, especially those of the red marrow, are derived, as we shall presently show, large quantities of red blood-corpuscles.
Seite 188 - The total quantity of air which passes into and out of the lungs of an adult, at rest, in 24 hours, is about 686,000 cubic inches.
