Page 163 - Bunge has observed that while preferments resist destruction by an electric current, active ferments are easily destroyed by this means, and he believes that the destruction is due to oxidation. On the basis of these observations, it has been suggested that the immunity of living tissue to digestion depends upon its ability to oxidize and thus destroy the active ferments. The inactive...
Page 52 - For practical purposes, however, a record of the venous pulsations has proved the most serviceable of the mechanical methods for studying cardiac irregularities. 0.1 second before the radial pulse, a wave is seen in the venous record, which is called the c wave. This is usually preceded by the a wave, and is followed by the v wave (Fig. 19). The a wave is due to the contraction of the right auricle, the c and v waves are expressions of ventricular activity. The fall of the v wave is produced by the...

Page 355 - Thus periodic breathing might be established. As a matter of fact, however, sudden changes in the tension of carbon dioxid in the air do not produce periodic breathing. The respiratory mechanism normally acts like an engine with a heavy fly-wheel which prevents sudden fluctuations and oscillations in speed.
