Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Anatomy of Vertebrates, Vol. 2
The evolution of animal heat more directly relates to the amount of air inspired in a given period, and to the rapidity with which the oxygenated blood is conveyed to the tissues.
In these the molecular changes are governed by the nervous system, and whatever tends to paralyse the nervous force operates in the same degree in arresting those molecular movements on which more directly depends the evolution of heat. In this act the nervous system is accordingly concerned, in so far as it in?uences the exercise of the muscular movements.
