IN the last chapter (Vol. I. xiv.) we discussed the formation of
lymph through the walls of the blood capillaries, and the physiology
of the lymphoid tissues and organs (which continually pour out
new cells, as well as the chemical products of their anabolisrn and
katabolism, into the lymph and blood stream), and referred in
general terms to the physiological concept of the so-called secretory
processes. If secretion means every alteration by the tissue-cells
of the medium in which they live either by the removal from
it of all the materials required for their nutrition, or by the
return to it of all the products of their metabolism we should
obviously have to admit that every living cell, as such, exhibits
secretory activity (Brown-Sequard). But the concept of secretion
must be taken in a more restricted sense. The term secretory
is not applied to the cells which form the nervous and mus-
cular tissues, nor, speaking generally, to the active and passive
mechanisms of sensation and movement, while it is used of the
histological elements that participate actively in the production
and purification of the blood and lymph, particularly the epithelia

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides a detailed insight into the physiology of skeletal muscles, examining the theories of muscular excitability and the conditions that regulate it. The author explores the significance of the muscle sound, the propagation of the excitatory wave, and the structure and function of striated muscle fibers. Through case studies and scientific research, they unravel the relationship between muscular tone, contracture, and active elongation, presenting a comprehensive examination of the metabolic processes and energy sources that support muscular activity. This in-depth analysis highlights the importance of muscular work, energy, heat production, and muscle fatigue. The text also explores concepts of muscular electricity and the influence of the nervous system, providing a comprehensive overview of muscle physiology and its significance in voluntary movement and posture. 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. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781440084638_0
