Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ganglionic Nervous System: Its Structure, Functions, and Diseases The other will be observed combining with this interior life, which in the highest degree it enjoys, an exterior life by which it acquires a very numerous series of relations with all surrounding bodies; a life which couples it with the existence of every other being, by which it is approximated, or removed from the objects of its desires or its fears; and seems in appropriating everything in nature to itself, to consider everything with regard to its individual existence only. "Thus it might be said, that the vegetable is only the sketch, or rather the groundwork of the animal; that for the formation of the latter, it has only been requisite to clothe the former with an apparatus of external organs, by which it might be connected with external objects. "From hence it follows, that the functions of the animal are of two very different classes. By the one (which is composed of an habitual succession of assimilation and exertion), it lives within itself (internally), transforms into its proper substance the particles of other bodies, and afterwards rejects them when they are become heterogeneous to its nature. By the other, it lives externally, is the inhabitant of the world; and not, as the vegetable, of a spot only. It feels, it perceives, it reflects on its sensations, it moves according to their influence; and frequently is enabled to communicate by its voice, its desires and its fears, its pleasures and its pains. "The aggregate of the functions of the first order, I shall name the organie life, because all organized beings, whether animal or vegetable, enjoy it more or less, because organic texture is the sole condition necessary to its existence. The sum of the functions of the second class, because it is exclusively the property of the animal, I shall denominate the animal life."
