The New International Encyclopædia/Budge, Julius

BUDGE, Julius (1811-88) . A German physiologist. He was born at Wetzlar, and studied at the universities of Marburg, Würzburg, and Berlin. He afterwards successively became extraordinary professor at Bonn (1847-56) and professor of anatomy and physiology at Greifswald, where he was also director of the anatomical institute. He pointed out the relation between parts of the brain on the one hand and the genito-urinary organs on the other, and made the important discovery that the sympathetic nerve has its origin in the spinal cord, and not in the peripheral ganglia. He also discovered the capillaries of the gall. Among his principal works are the following: Die Lehre vom Erbrechen (1840); Allgemeine Pathologie (1843); Lehrbuch der speziellen Physiologie des Menschen (8th ed., 1862); Kompendium der Physiologie (3d ed., 1875).
