Strana 207 - This naturally leads us to look for some less local cause, for the unusual efforts to which the heart has been impelled: and the two most ready solutions appear to be, either that the altered quality of the blood affords irregular and unwonted stimulus to the organ immediately; or, that it so affects the minute and capillary circulation, as to render greater action necessary to force the blood through the distant sub-divisions of the vascular system.
Strana 59 - It would indeed be difficult to conceive a disposition of parts more calculated to favour the escape of water from the blood than that of the Malpighian body. A large artery breaks up in a very direct manner into a number of minute branches, each of which suddenly opens into an assemblage of vessels of fur greater aggregate capacity than itself, and from which there is but one narrow exit. Hence must arise a very abrupt retardation in the velocity of the current of blood.
Strana 510 - Prout) the bladder becomes distended with blood, and complete retention of urine in consequence takes place, recourse must be had to a large-eyed catheter, and an exhausting syringe, by the aid of which, and the occasional injection of cold water, the coagula may be broken down and removed. If the haemorrhage be so profuse that the bladder becomes again distended with blood in a very short time, the injection of cold water into the rectum or bladder is sometimes of great use ; and should these means...
Strana 106 - ... nature and composition of their secreted products, so that he learns to attribute to a cell having certain characteristic appearances, the mysterious vital power of secreting the constituents of urine, while with a cell having certain other appearances, he associates the power of secreting bile. "The next point which it is important to observe is, that the cells of each gland, besides the constituents of their own proper secretion, have also the power of separating from the blood certain materials...
Strana 206 - The deviations from health in the heart are well worthy of observation; they have been so frequent as to show a most important and intimate connection with the disease of which we are treating; while, at the same time, there have been twenty-seven cases in which no disease could be detected, and six others which, from not having been noted, lead to the belief that no important deviation from the normal state existed.
Strana 29 - Arrived here*, the twig perforates the capsule, and, dilating, suddenly breaks up into two, three, four, or even eight branches, which diverge in all directions like petals from the stalk of a flower, and usually run, in a more or less tortuous manner, subdividing again once or twice as they advance, over the surface of the ball they are about to fprm.
Strana 31 - ... the tubes, as those of the hepatic artery do into the portal hepatic plexus of the lobules of the liver. Thus there are in the kidney two perfectly distinct systems of capillary vessels, through both of which the blood passes in its course from the arteries into the veins: the first, that inserted into the dilated extremities of the uriniferous tubes, and in immediate connexion with the arteries; the second, that enveloping the convolutions of the tubes, and communicating directly with the veins....
Strana 60 - ... manner into a number of minute branches, each of which suddenly opens into an assemblage of vessels of far greater aggregate capacity than itself, and from which there is but one narrow exit. Hence must arise a very abrupt retardation in the velocity of the current of blood. The vessels in Avliich this delay occurs are uncovered by any structure. They lie bare in a cell from which there is but one outlet, the orifice of the tube.
Strana 491 - On the 22nd, he first came to me at the public dispensary. He said he had passed water fourteen or fifteen times during the night, and as often in the course of the morning ; the pain and irritation were now less than yesterday. The urine was deeply tinged with blood, and contained a large quantity of albumen. Under the microscope numerous "blood-casts" of the renal tubes were seen. A few small inflammation cells and some crystals of oxalate of lime were entangled in the casts ; no epithelium; much...
