About This Book

A systematic anatomical study distinguishes two capillary networks — a widespread general system and a lung-specific pulmonary system — and explains their roles in converting blood, supporting nutrition, secretion, exhalation, and producing animal heat. Capillaries are presented as integral to organ structure, with some tissues chiefly pervaded by blood and others by paler fluids; these proportions shift under irritation, inflammation, or injection. Comparative and observational methods are used to relate capillary arrangement to physiological functions and pathological changes, and to trace continuity between delicate capillary circulation in low animals and analogous processes in plants.

Transcriber's Notes

Obvious typographical errors have been silently corrected. Variations in spelling and punctuation remains unchanged.

The various tables used curved braces to indicate groups. For clarity and to adjust to different screen/font sizes, these have been replaced by straight lines.

An analytical table of contents for all three volumes was included with volume III. This has been copied into this volume and the appropriate section has been linked to the relevant pages.

The outline Table of Contents was added by the transcriber.
