The human body being a machine so infinitely complicated, that, although its anatomy, so far as the eye or glass can reach appears to be under stood, a part Of its physiology, or function of its various organs is still enveloped in profound dark ness. If this knowledge is within the reach of hu man understanding, the reason why it is inexplica ble, may be justly ascribed to the superstition which has pervaded all nations, till lately, respect ing the cultivation of anatomy and physiology by dissection. Indeed, so great was the abhorrence to this only method Of obtaining a knowledge of the laws of organic life, that martyrs to humanity have fallen, in daring to attemptit. And it is to be regretted that this black superstition still exists in many parts of this enlightened republic. But as true science and philosophy progressed, supersti tion was gradually stript Of its tyranny, and ana tomy and physiology began to flourish.

An Experimental Inquiry Into the Function of the Liver (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This fascinating book presents the fruits of the author's groundbreaking experiments on the liver, challenging long-held assumptions about its function. Debunking prevailing wisdom that this organ primarily secretes bile for waste removal, the author's research unveils its dual role in producing both bile and chyle. This discovery redefines the liver's significance, shedding light on its crucial involvement in both digestive and nutritive processes. The author meticulously analyzes the contrasting properties of hepatic and cystic bile, revealing distinct compositions and physiological roles. Through rigorous experimentation on living animals, the text provides compelling evidence that the liver actively produces chyle, a nutrient-rich liquid essential for growth and sustenance. This revolutionary insight reconceptualizes the liver, recognizing it as a multifaceted organ that plays a vital role in both waste elimination and the nourishment of the body. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781332260461_0
