The Heart and Nervous System (Classic Reprint): Being the Harveian Oration, Delivered Before the Royal College of Physicians of London, on October 18, 1902 - Couverture souple
Synopsis
Explore how the heart, nervous system, and blood vessels work together to protect the body under stress. This edition presents the Harveian Oration’s concise examination of the heart’s relations to the nervous system, including how cortical and medullary centers influence rhythm, tone, and flow.
The work surveys mechanisms that regulate circulation, such as the ways the brain and medulla oblongata interact with cardiac and vascular centers. It discusses protective reflexes, impulses from the depressor nerve, and the interplay between respiration, blood pressure, and vessel dilation. The author also reflects on the limits of artificial stimulation to reproduce complex emotions and the role of visceral factors in emotion and response.
- How the brain, spinal cord, and heart communicate to adjust heart rate and vessel tone
- The protective roles of cardiac and vascular reflexes during changes in posture, stress, or intracranial pressure
- How emotions and internal states influence circulation and glandular secretion
- Historical experiments and clinical interpretations shaping our understanding of neurocirculation
Ideal for readers of medical history and physiology who seek a clear, accessible view of the heart’s ties to the nervous system.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents the research of the author, a fellow of the Royal College of Physicians and professor of neuro-pathology, on the relationships between the heart and nervous system. Published in 1902, the book marks a turning point in medical history, being one of the first detailed accounts of the functions of the body's systems working together to maintain life as we know it. The author posits that there is a delicate balance between the heart and nervous system, with the heart and blood vessels constantly adapting to meet the demands of the body. There are scarcely any acts, thoughts, or feelings which do not reflect themselves in the rate of the heart and state of the pulse. This balance is vital to our survival and requires constant maintenance. The author's writing provides a detailed overview of the newly discovered system of nerves that connect the heart and nervous system, which are responsible for this adaptation and maintenance. This book is a landmark text for physiologists, cardiologists, and neurologists, reflecting the state of our medical knowledge as we stood on the cusp of the 1900's, and is a must read for anyone with an interest in the history of medicine or the workings of the human heart.
