Page 300 - ... endothelial cells of the capillary walls take an active part in the formation of lymph. It seems rather that the vital activities of these cells are devoted entirely to maintaining their integrity as a filtering membrane, differing in permeability according to the region of the body in which they are situated. Any injury, whether from within or without, leads to a failure of this their one function, and therefore to an increased permeability, with the production of an increased flow of a more...

Page 642 - Why is so wonderful an apparatus placed at the extremity of each uriniferous tube, if not to furnish water, to aid in the separation and solution of the urinous products from the epithelium of the tube?
Page 167 - From what has been stated, it will be seen that it is improbable that the material which is obtained from plasma, under the name of fibrinogen, is a simple substance.
Page 26 - They are highly complex and, for the most part, uncrystallisable compounds of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulphur,0 occurring in a solid, viscous condition, or in solution in nearly all the solids and liquids of the organism. The different members of the group present differences in physical, and to a certain extent even in chemical properties. They all possess, however, certain common chemical reactions, and are united by a close genetic relationship...

Page xii - ... articles in the first volume deal mainly with the chemical constitution and the chemical processes of the animal body, and with those physical and chemical phenomena which are connected with the production and elaboration of the secretions and other fluids of the body. The articles in the second volume include the mechanics of the circulation and respiration, and of special muscular movements ; the general physiology of muscle and nerve ; the special senses ; and the functions of the central...
Page 661 - ... its osmotic pressure, saline constitution, and reaction approximate that of the blood plasma. It would seem that in the glomeruli we have an apparatus which, like the capillaries of the abdominal viscera but in a still higher degree, reacts to changes in the intracapillary pressure, and so serves to regulate accurately the amount of fluid circulating in the blood vessels. Whether we look upon the cells of the convoluted tubules as secretory or absorptive in function, we have at present no evidence...
