So the stimulation effected by the act of eating reaches the gastric glands by means of the nerve fibres that are contained in the vagus nerves.

Precise knowledge of what happens to the food entering the organism must be the subject of ideal physiology, the physiology of the future.

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…

Physiology has, at last, gained control over the nerves which stimulate the gastric glands and the pancreas.

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…
