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.
