In cases of consumption, also, the total ammonia was less than in health ; but in one case of this disease associated with Bright's disease a large amount of organic matter was given off, a portion of it due to urea. In kidney diseases the largest amount of organic matter of all kinds was found in the breath. The...
Page 180 - The sacs swelling by endosmosis and corroded by the acid, must, at length, burst, and the liquid contents, together with the disintegrated and partially digested membrane of the sacs, pass out into the stomach, to constitute the gastric juice, the free hydrochloric acid, and phosphates and chlorides, and the albuminoid bodies and disintegrated tissues (pepsine ?) to act in the liquefaction of food.
Page 291 - The distinctive character of the book consists in its attempting so to combine the concrete facts of zootomy with the outlines of systematic classification, as to enable the student to put them for himself into their natural relations of foundation and superstructure.

But whether the general theory be accepted as a whole or not, it must be allowed that in the face, on the one hand, of our knowledge of the greatness of the unlikeness, which may be compatible with specific identity ; and, on the other, of our ignorance of the entirety...
Page 301 - ... may conclude that the uterine muscles are capable of rupturing the membranes in every case, and possess, in general, nearly three times the amount of force requisite for this purpose. In the second stage of labour, the voluntary action of the abdominal muscles is called into play to aid the expulsive efforts of the uterine muscles. I have attempted to calculate the force available from the contraction of these muscles as follows. The abdominal muscles are four in number, viz. rectus abdominis,...
Page 180 - ... crystals consists almost wholly of metaphosphates*, which point directly to tribasic phosphoric acid in solution, combined with one atom of fixed base, which is inconceivable unless separated by membrane from the plasma, which is always alkaline. In fine, whatever other peculiarities the blood-corpuscles may possess, they have the requisites for furnishing acid phosphates in solution under pressure, such as must attend engorgement of the capillaries in the walls of the stomach.
