A Text-Book of the History of Painting (Classic Reprint)
FORCED MOVEMENTS, TROPISMS, AND ANIMAL CONDUCTCHAPTER IINTRODUCTIONThe analysis of the mechanism of voluntary and instinctive actions of animals which we propose to undertake in this volume is based on the assumption that all these motions are determined by internal or external forces. Our task is facilitated by the fact that the overwhelming majority of organisms have a bilaterally symmetrical structure, i.e., their body is like our own, divided into a right and left half.The significance of this symmetrical structure lies in the fact that the morphological plane of symmetry of an animal is also its plane of symmetry in physiological or dynamical respect, inasmuch as under normal conditions the tension in symmetrical muscles is the same, and inasmuch as the chemical constitution and the velocity of chemical reactions are the same for symmetrical elements of the surface of the body, e.g., the sense organs.Normally the processes inducing locomotion are equal in both halves of Table of

Text-Book of Physiological and Pathological Chemistry (Classic Reprint)
PROFESSOR BUNGE’S Lectures on Physiological Chemistry have had a great iufluence on physiological thought both here and abroad. Representing as they do the ideas which have produced throughout many years discoveries of fundamental importance in the school of Schmiedeberg, they have served to spread the method of thought of that school and to render more effective the work of men in other laboratories. Among these researches, I might especially mention those of Schmiedeberg alone or in conjunction with his pupils on the mechanism of oxidation in the body, on the occurrence of synthetic processes in the body (e. g., the synthesis of hippuric acid in the kidney, worked out by Bunge and Schmiedeberg), SchrOder’s work on the formation of urea, Minkowski and N aunyn on uric acid, Minkowski on the production of diabetes by extirpation of the pancreas, besides researches into the chemistry of nucleins, of chondrin, the mucins (Leathes), and many other subjTable of Contents CONTENTS; LECTURE
