    : % The Aditabas, PREFACE \ Lectures 1 He down the Circulation of the Blood | as a ‘tandi ing, principle, both for confirming the | Beas modern Authors, and confuting the § _ Errours of the Ancients. i Tis by the means of the beri that we } trace the remoteft Functions of the Humane Body: afcrib’d to different, Parts, to the Breafts, for in-. } -ftance, a faculty of making Milk, to the Tefticles | thefe faculties are only the feparation of the. ref--.§ pective Liquors, which being firft mingled with § the Blood are filtrated and difengag’d from its | other Parts, in the Breafts, Teéfticles; Oc. ..g+ boll If we do but conceive that this Circulation-runs i from the Center to the Circumference through the. ff _ Arteries, and from the Circumference to the Cen- fj that not only thefe two Liquors (the Milk and the. : Seed) but all the other are feparated from the. Blood by the fole difpofition of the Parts, the fi- | to one fort of Liquor rather than to another. “Tis } in this manner that the Animal juice is feparated } by the Glands of the Brain, the Saliva by the Pa- | rotides and maxillary Glands, the Bileby the Glan-_ -dules of the Liver, the Urine by the Kidneys, the | Panereatick juice by the Sweat-bread, andfoon. | For a further Proof that all thefe Liquors are fe= § parated from the Mafs of Blood by the means of | the Circulation, we may look upon this as a cer=.. } tainty, that what we call Blood is only a mixture | of feveral different Liquors, which being convey’d. by the Arteries to all the parts of the Body fall off where they meet with fuch Pores as are quali- | _ fy’d to let ’em pafs. This feparation therefore is a confequence of the ftructure of the Parts, 0) that they {tand in no need of the faculties call’d . Attraa |
