13. One of the most important distinctions between animals and plants, is the different effects of respiration. Animals consume the oxygen of the atmosphere, and give off carbonic acid; while plants take up the carbonic acid, and restore to animals the oxygen, thus affording an admirable example of the principle of compensation in nature.
14. But the decisive distinctions between animals and plants are

HUMAN AND COMPARATIVE ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY, AND HYGIENE. For District Schools. With 100 Engravings. 132 pages. By Mrs. Eunice P. Cutter. Price 33 cts.
This work contains full directions for the study and teaching of Anatomy, Physiology, and Hygiene. This is a new feature. Every teacher would profit by it. The plan of the work can be gathered from the following fac-simile of the table of contents:—
Footnotes
Where examples and observations are given or experiments suggested, let the pupil mention other analogous ones.
The Cellular, Serous, Dermoid, Fibrous, and Mucous tissues are very generally called membranes.
Some anatomists reckon more than this number, others less, for the reason that, at different periods of life, the number of pieces of which one bone is formed, varies. Example. The breast-bone, in infancy, has eight pieces; in youth, three; in old age, but one.
Compare 1, 1, Fig. 28, with 2, 2, 2, Fig. 48.
In the plates illustrating the muscular system, the names of such muscles are given as are referred to in the paragraph “Practical Explanation.” These names need not be committed to memory. If a pupil wishes to acquire a knowledge of the general attachment of the muscles represented in the plates, he can do so by comparing the muscular plate with that of the skeleton, (fig. 28.)
It appears to be a fact, that no two important organs can be called into intense action at the same time, without injury to both, as well as to the general system. This arises from the circumstance that an organ, when in functional action, attracts fluids (sanguineous and nervous) from other organs of the system. Except in a few instances of high health in youth, the power of the system is not adequate to supply more than one organ in action with the appropriate fluids at the same time.
See Chapter XII.
The process of deglutition may be comprehended by analyzing the operation of swallowing food or saliva.
The chyle is changed by the lacteals and mesenteric glands, but the nature of this change is not, as yet, well defined or understood.
The time required for the digestion of the different articles of food might vary in other persons; and would probably vary in the same individual at different periods, as the employment, health, season, &c., exert a modifying influence.
The system is gradually developed, and all changes of food, apparel, labor, exercise, or position, should be gradual. Even a change from a bad to a good habit, on this principle, should be gradual.
The urinary organs, as well as the intestinal canal, should be frequently and regularly evacuated. Some most distressing and frequently incurable complaints are caused by false customs and false delicacy in this particular. Teachers should be particularly careful, and regard this suggestion in reference to young pupils.
All vessels that carry blood to the heart, are called veins. All vessels that carry blood from the heart, are called arteries.
Transpiration is a term often used generically, to signify the passage of fluids or gases through membranes, internally or externally; but perspiration is a specific term, signifying transpiration on to the external surface.
As a substitute for a jar with a stop-cock, take a piece of lead pipe bent in the form of a siphon, and insert it in the mouth of a reversed jar. This experiment is as conclusive whether the air is inhaled once only or breathed many times.
Mr. Frederick Emerson, of Boston, has devised a simple and effective apparatus for removing vitiated air from a room. It is successfully used upon all the public school-houses of Boston. It is now being generally applied to the school-houses and other public buildings, as well as private dwellings, of New England.
Dr. Wyman’s valuable work on “Ventilation,” and the work of Henry Barnard, Esq., on “School-house architecture,” can be advantageously consulted, as they give the practical methods of ventilating and warming shops, school-rooms, dwelling-houses, public halls, &c.
The brain, lungs, heart, and digestive organs, are called vital organs.
The structure of this nerve is very complicated, and different physiologists ascribe to it various functions. The character of its diseases are not well understood.
Dr. Elliotson, and some other writers On physiology, have detailed cases of death from voluntary suspension of respiration. But these cases are not conclusive, as examinations were not made, so as to determine positively, that death did not result from disease of the heart, brain, or some other vital organ.
Some physiologists impute the sense of taste to the ninth pair of nerves; others, to the twelfth pair; while others, again, contend that taste is the result of a concurrent action of the fifth, ninth, and twelfth pairs of nerves.
The refracting character of differently-formed lenses is illustrated in the works on Natural Philosophy, to which the pupil is referred.
It is advised, that a thorough review of the hygiene of the preceding chapters be given from the suggestions contained in this.
Directions for making the simple preparations for the sick are found in almost every cook-book.
Typographical problems have been changed and are listed below.
Author’s archaic and variable spelling is mostly preserved.
Author’s punctuation style is mostly preserved.
This transcription is faithful to the original transliterations of Greek (which occur in italics), even when they seem incorrect.
