Page 210 - very gradually the mantle of the embryonic brain increases in extent, ascending in the vertebrate series. In the aj>es l>elonging to the class of primates it has attained an expansion which borders closely on the relations found in man. Nevertheless, an important factor, besides more unessential relations, still separates it from the stage reached by man. The frontal lobe, still very small in the lower aj>es, attains a huge size in the higher apes, but always remains much inferior to that of man.

Page 26 - Physiology shows how not only the individual ganglia which lie in the intestines function with relative independence, but how even structures like the spinal ganglia, frequently reckoned in with the central system, still enjoy relative independence from it functionally.
Page 40 - ... we should rather include all of those processes by which from any place in the body impulses are conducted to the nearest ganglion or to the central axis. Whether or not they be recognized by the individual as they occur does not affect their nature. Sensation and perception are not the same thing. Sensory nerves are widely distributed over the entire body. They are located not only in those places usually known to be sensitive, but also in all other tissues and organs. Whether we examine the...
Page 89 - ... to the leaves, are again returned by the leaves to the stem, and other parts of the body. MORE probable than any of the opinions, that I have mentioned, is that which ascribes to the leaves a kind of respiratory function. This opinion, which was early adopted by some of the ingenious philosophers to whom we are indebted for much of our knowledge of the physiology of vegetables, very naturally resulted from a few simple, but conclusive experiments. Mr. Papin...

Page 26 - ... structures like the spinal ganglia, frequently reckoned in with the central system, still enjoy relative independence from it functionally. What we know of the anatomical structure and of the functions of the central nervous system of vertebrates forces us more and more to the conclusions (1) that...
Page 43 - Good staining discloses with each of them plexuses of unsuspected density of arborization. For what services may such an abundant sensory innervation be provided? It occurs immediately to one that there is a great number of reflexes, very necessary to the preservation of the individual, even though he be unaware of them. The regulation of the secretions, the...
Page 304 - Edinger,2 in his latest edition, says that there is such an array of clinical observations, and of facts derived from post-mortem dissections, that one may venture to designate the portion of the nucleus from which the innervation of each individual ocular muscle comes. He gives Starr's table, the latest of these numerous attempts so happily begun by Pick.
