Synopsis
Excerpt from The Croonian Lectures on the Chemical Correlation of the Functions of the Body: Delivered Before the Royal College of Physicians of London on June 20th, 22nd, 27th and 29th, 1935
In discussing the internal chemical reactions of the body, it will be convenient to divide them into two classes - viz., those which involve (1) increased activity of an organ, and (2) increased growth of a tissue or organ. In both cases we must assume that the reaction to the chemical stimulus is itself chemical, the first class including those changes which are chiefly katabolic or dissimilative and are always associated with activity, and the second class involving diminished katabolism and increased building up or a'nabolism. We might, in fact, speak of the two classes of chemical stimulants as augmentor and inhibitor.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the chemical mechanisms underlying the coordination and growth of body functions. It presents groundbreaking research, dating from the early 20th century, which revealed the existence of chemical messengers that facilitate communication and coordination between different organs. By tracing the development of the field, from early observations to the discovery of specific hormones, the author demonstrates the profound role of chemical reactions in regulating physiological processes. The book challenges the prevailing belief that all vital functions are controlled through the nervous system, showcasing instead the crucial contribution of chemical messengers in maintaining the delicate balance of the body's internal environment. This exploration offers valuable insights into the intricate workings of the human body and the potential for further discoveries in the field of chemical regulation.
