	Carbon Dioxide
		This book supplied the early training of many of the physiologists who during the past 35 years have contributed to the development of respiration and to the increasing recognition of the part played in the economy of the body by carbon dioxide.
		Spalanzani, the Italian physiologist, soon recognized, however, that in fact the oxidation does not occur in the lungs: it is in the tissues, to which oxygen is transported by the blood.
		But even as early as 1885, Miescher, a Swiss physiologist, in a paper that is one of the masterpieces of physiology, had summarized all the evidence then available and reached the conclusion that it is the variations in the amount of carbon dioxide which principally induce the immediate adjustments of respiration.

	History of Biological Sciences
		As is his style, Desmond highlights the political nature of the actions of many of the reformers, thus significantly expanding the study of scientific ideas within their social context.
		Along with Thomas Henry Huxley, Foster was responsible in the Late Victorian period for the transformation of British biology into a science that was strongly experimental, exhibiting the scholarly apparatus of professional societies and the organs we see today.
		Lankester (like Huxley and Foster) was particularly involved in reforming biological education in light of the developing evolutionary and experimental paradigms, and indeed often sparred with Bastian.

		Now, just as the physicist or chemist varies those conditions under which a phenomenon occurs in order to get at its causes, so does the physiologist try to experiment with vital phenomena, altering the vital conditions: and testing the changes which are thereby produced.
		It is the more important to bear in mind this twofold operation of stimuli, owing to the fact that in former times physiologists were very apt to conceive of excitation and stimulation as identical.

	The History of the Stazione Zoologica Anton Dohrn An Outline
		Nansen was in fact keenly interested in a problem that at the time engaged both physiologists and histologists in heated debates : the relationship between ganglion cells and nerve fibers, the nature of the nervous impulse and the cellular basis of the functioning of the brain.
		Sereni, head of the physiology department, was a brilliant physiologist and produced ingenious experiments on nervous and humoral correlations of the activity of the chromatophores, a subject studied at Naples also by Nikolai K. Koltzoff (Moscow) between 1924 and 1927.

		When the leading physiologist of his day, addressing an audience of physicians, refers to an early criticism of physiological cruelty as a collection of "blood-curdling stories," there is desire not to investigate, but to ridicule and discredit historic facts.
		Of one English physiologist of that period, Sir Charles Bell, it is impossible to speak except in terms of admiration and esteem.
		An English physiologist, Sir Michael Foster, admits this: "To Charles Bell is due the merit of having made the fundamental discovery of the distinction between motor and sensory fibres.

		Thus the study of physiological function was formerly a part of the discipline of anatomy, but in the nineteenth century Claude Bernard in France and Michael Foster in England succeeded in breaking away from anatomy and establishing physiology as an independent discipline.
		Foster then turned to the history of physiology and traced the discipline back to the physiological studies of the great anatomists from the sixteenth century onwards.
		His reference to the practical breeders was not just a sop to the members of the society he was addressing, but expressed his recognition of the value of the empirical tradition of hybridization or cross-breeding.

		On the other hand, he declared that it could not be looked at as the unit of function: he denied that the powers and properties of a living body were simply the sum of the powers and properties of the single cells.
		For many years physiologists held that cells were units of function just as much as they are units of structure; but in the last ten years there has been a strong return to the opinion of Huxley.

		Radical individualism that fostered science and art also encouraged social turmoil: coups, two revolutions (1848, 1870), and two wars against Austria and Prussia.
		Enamored of literature, art and philosophy, Claude Bernard as a physiologist lost nothing by these noble passions; on the contrary, they all helped in developing the science with which he identified himself, and of which he is the highest and most complete embodiment.
