TABLE,
SHOWING THE MEAN TIME OF DIGESTION OF THE DIFFERENT ARTICLES OF DIET.
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.
HYGIENE OF THE DIGESTIVE ORGANS, CONTINUED.
What persons would be benefited by observing the preceding remarks? 307. Why should food be well masticated? What is the effect of "bolting down" food? 308. How should mastication be performed? Why?
Why should all persons have ample time for eating? 309. Why are drinks not necessary while masticating food? Give the objections to "washing down" food. What observation relative to drink? 310. Does the sensation of thirst always arise from a real want of the system?
Give instances when it does and when it does not. 311. Why should not food or drink be taken hot? 312. Why should they not be taken cold? Show some of the effects of improper food upon the inferior animals.
Of the Anglo-Saxon race? 318. How can the Spanish custom be improved? 319. How is the influence of the mind on the digestive process exhibited? What does it show the necessity of avoiding? 320. How should indigestion arising from nervous prostration be treated?
In cases of great prostration, what is recommended? 323. How is the influence that the skin exercises on the digestive organs illustrated? 324. What effect on the digestive process has the restriction of the ribs and diaphragm?
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.
THE CIRCULATORY ORGANS.
ANATOMY OF THE CIRCULATORY ORGANS.
With what is it surrounded? What is its use? How much fluid does this membrane contain when healthy?
What does this artery and its corresponding veins establish? Explain fig. 69. 345. Describe the aorta. What do this artery and its corresponding veins constitute?
What does fig. 70 represent? 346. What are the veins?
Where do they commence? 347. What is said of their communications? What is the apparent design of the inosculations of the veins? What vessels are distributed to the coats of the veins? 348. Give the structure of the coats of the veins. 349. How are the valves in the veins formed?
What is their use? Where are they the most numerous?
PHYSIOLOGY OF THE CIRCULATORY ORGANS.
What is the effect when the blood is not changed in the lungs? 356. Describe the circulation of the blood from the left auricle to the general system. What part of the circulatory organs is most liable to disease? What is the effect when the valves are diseased? 357. Give the difference in the functions of the pulmonary artery and aorta. Show the relation between the functions of the arteries and veins both of the pulmonic and systemic circulation.
HYGIENE OF THE CIRCULATORY ORGANS
Mention the illustration. 374. What is the effect when a number of muscles are called into energetic action? What effect has this accumulation of blood in the lungs? 375. How can such disagreeable sensations be avoided? Mention a practical observation.
What is shown by fig. 78 and 79? 380. What suggestion relative to the position of a limb when bleeding? Relate a simple operation by Dr. Nathan Smith.
What should be avoided? How should the strips of plaster be removed from a wound? How is the union of the divided parts effected? 384. How should punctured and lacerated wounds be dressed? 385. What is the treatment of wounds caused by the bite of rabid animals?
ABSORPTION.
ANATOMY OF THE LYMPHATIC VESSELS.
PHYSIOLOGY OF THE LYMPHATIC VESSELS.
HYGIENE OF THE LYMPHATIC VESSELS.
SECRETION.
ANATOMY OF THE SECRETORY ORGANS.
PHYSIOLOGY OF THE SECRETORY ORGANS.
How is it proved that secretion depends on nervous influence? 424. What is said of the secretions from the serous membrane? 425. From what tissue is a serous fluid exhaled? What is the effect when this fluid becomes excessive in quantity? What is fat? Its use? What is marrow?
HYGIENE OF THE SECRETORY ORGANS.
Give examples of morbid secretions. What is one cause of dysentery and cholera morbus? How can these affections he relieved? 437. Show the influence of the mind on the secretions. Mention instances of its influence.
NUTRITION.
HYGIENE OF NUTRITION.
THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS.
ANATOMY OF THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS.
Explain fig. 89.
What membrane lines the trachea and its branches? What is peculiar in its structure? What does fig. 91 represent?
How may the structure of the trachea and its branches be illustrated? 471. Are the lungs supplied with nutrient arteries? Where are the respiratory nerves distributed? From what source do these organs derive their nervous filaments?
These engravings show the diaphragm to be more convex, and the walls of the abdomen more flattened, when the lungs are collapsed, than when they are inflated.
What is its form when not in action? 474. Where do the respiratory muscles make their attachment? What name is given to those muscles that fill the places between the ribs? What is hiccough? What is sneezing?
PHYSIOLOGY OF THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS.
What effect has a full inspiration on the ribs and diaphragm? How is the chest enlarged between the spinal column and sternum? What is said of the lateral diameter of the chest? Explain fig. 95.
Explain fig. 96. 482. In how many ways may the chest be enlarged, and how is it accomplished? How is the contraction of the chest effected?
Explain fig. 97. How may the murmur of respiration be heard?
Explain fig. 98. 492. How and where is the blood changed?
Give the experiment showing that oxygen changes the dark-colored blood to a bright red color. What is represented by fig. 99? 493. How can the presence of carbonic acid in the lungs be proved?
How the watery vapor? 494. Are there other excretions from the lungs? Give the illustration.
HYGIENE OF THE RESPIRATORY ORGANS.
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.
