In the case of the stomach, however, the nerves of the glandular cells were always severed when constructing an artificially isolated pouch and this, naturally, affected the normal work of the stomach.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Physiology has, at last, gained control over the nerves which stimulate the gastric glands and the pancreas.
I know that I have a special stomach.
A hungry stomach cannot hear.
I'd feel better about myself if I did stomach crunches, but I don't.
The digestive canal represents a tube passing through the entire organism and communicating with the external world, i.e. as it were the external surface of the body, but turned inwards and thus hidden in the organism.
Only a portion of my intestinal tract was working.
As was to be expected, the discovery of the nervous apparatus of the salivary glands immediately impelled physiologists to seek a similar apparatus in other glands lying deeper in the digestive canal.
That's metaphysics, my dear fellow. It's forbidden me by my doctor, my stomach won't take it.
From the described experiment it is clear that the mere act of eating, the food even not reaching the stomach, determines the stimulation of the gastric glands.
Thanks to our present surgical methods in physiology we can demonstrate at any time almost all phenomena of digestion without the loss of even a single drop of blood, without a single scream from the animal undergoing the experiment.
