of the stomack proceeds immediately from the Blood it self: Explaining further, How the Separation of the Chyle is perform'd in the Intestins, and how the same, to facilitate the more its passage, is diluted and refined by the Juyce of the Pancreas, secreted into the Duodenum: Rendring also the Cause, Why all the Glanduls in the Abdomen and in all the lower parts of the Body do deposite their Lympha or Juyce into the Common great Receptacle of the Chyle, and Why that Receptacle is plac'd between the Tendons of the Daphragime; as also, Why those Channels, which convey the Chyle into the Subclavial Vein, are double. To which he adds, That all the Chyle is by the Ductus Thoracicus alone transmitted into the Bloud and Heart, which he proveth by several considerable Experiments, with some reflexion on the Bilsian Experiment alledged for the contrary. All which he concludes by shewing the degrees and ways of Change, whereby the Chyle is at last converted into Bloud; and how it serveth for the Nourishment and the several parts of the Body.
The Whole receives a singular Elucidation and Ornament by the Accurate Figures, in 6. Tables annexed.
Many Curious and important Observations are occasionally interspersed; such as are: That the Capillary vessels (of the same sort) do open into one another in all the parts of the Body: That all the Muscles of the Body, are Biventers or double belly'd: That as the Motion-of the Heart and Bloud is Circular, so the Fibres, as tke Moving Engines of them, are about the Cone of the Heart brought into a Circle and Center: That the Motion in the Muscles is not like Shooting, but Fencing; and many more, for which we must referr to the Book it self.
