Happiness never lays its finger on its pulse.
With each meal, when edible substances find their way into the oral cavity, thick and viscous saliva containing much mucus flows out of these glands.
While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things.
Thus, the purposeful relationship of phenomena is based on the specificity of the stimuli, that correspond to similarly specific reactions.
The physiologist who succeeds in penetrating deeper and deeper into the digestive canal becomes convinced that it consists of a number of chemical laboratories equipped with various mechanical...
The gastric laboratory uses its protein ferment under an acid reaction.
The digestive canal represents a tube passing through the entire organism and communicating with the external world, as it were the external surface of the body, but turned inwards and thus hidden...
Thanks to our present surgical methods in physiology we can demonstrate at any time almost all phenomena of digestion without the loss of even a single drop of blood, without a single scream from...
So the stimulation effected by the act of eating reaches the gastric glands by means of the nerve fibres that are contained in the vagus nerves.
Precise knowledge of what happens to the food entering the organism must be the subject of ideal physiology, the physiology of the future.
Physiology has, at last, gained control over the nerves which stimulate the gastric glands and the pancreas.
Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise.
Our success was mainly due to the fact that we stimulated the nerves of animals that easily stood on their own feet and were not subjected to any painful stimulus either during or immediately...
Our experiments not only proved the existence of a nervous apparatus in the above-mentioned glands, but also disclosed some facts clearly showing the participation of these nerves in normal activity.
Only by observing this condition would the results of our work be regarded as fully conclusive and as having elucidated the normal course of the phenomena.
Mechanical influences are completely ineffective with regard to the gastric glands.
Long before us it was established that the work of the salivary glands is regulated by a complex nervous apparatus.
It is not accidental that all phenomen of human life are dominated by the search for daily bread the oldest link connecting all living things, man included, with the surrounding nature.
It is clear to all that the animal organism is a highly complex system consisting of an almost infinite series of parts connected both with one another and, as a total complex, with the surrounding...
It has long been known for sure that the sight of tasty food makes a hungry man's mouth water, also lack of appetite has always been regarded as an undesirable phenomenon, from which one might...
It goes without saying that the desire to accomplish the task with more confidence, to avoid wasting time and labour, and to spare our experimental animals as much as possible, made us strictly...
