INDEX OF SUBJECΤS. ΑΝΙΜΑΤΙΟΝ : see Undulation. During formation, the animation os the bratias is coincident With the systole and diastole of the heari, but aster birili, with the respiration os the lungs, 254, 258, 260, 272, 463, 539; II., 67. The animation of thebrain returiis to coinciden e with the motion of the heari, Whenever the lungS ceaselo respire, While the heari continues to beat, 255, 267, 539. It arises primarilysrom the animations of the cortical and cineritious spherules, Or DOm the SOul gOVerning the motions of the spirituous fluid, 258. See Brain, Embryo, Luny8, M0tion, Se, Me inst. Animation is the origin os both local and modificatory motion, 278, 279. All the fluids are excited by it to living motions, and to their analogueS,ViZ., modificatory motions, ibid. In itself it is a locat motion, but reciprocat in the Same place and sphere, 279. It is far more persect in the simpler SubStances, and these do not simply expand, but sold and unsold spirally, 280. See Conatus, Spirat. All the substances of the atmospheric morid and animal kingdom are sormed with a VieW to animation, 281, 285. See My. Μere animation does not constitute animallise, but determinate and distinet animation, 285, 286. See Lime. The nrst animation is the most determinate, 290. The animation of the brain produces the circulation of the spiritu us suid, 463, 537; II., 182. See Musole. It is the universalmotion of the body, 537. It is the proper term for the motion of the medullarysi bres of the brain, while modification is the term for that of the nervOus fibres, II., I 54. The animation of the brain is voluntary, ΙΙ., I75.

The innermost tunic of the artery becomes the Outer-m0St of the vein, 138, 184, 185. Seo Circulation, Undulation. There is a generalequilibrium os pressure in ali the arteries, tending Dom the heari to the arteriai extremities, 145, 269. The blood flows through the arteries in a continuoHS Stream, not at distinet strokes, 146. In the arteries the action is continuous, but in theheari is divided into contiguous intervais, 147, 153. Throughout the arteries there iS a continuous cause of esse is, and effect of causes, 147. The generat pressure tends to kill the arteries ; the wave propelled into them by the heari restores theirlise, 148. See Death. The quantity of blood poured into the arteries is equat tolliat eXpressed froin them by the generat pressure, ibid. The resolution of the bl 00dis essected in the arteries, Ι69, I99. As the blood passes through the arteries, it oliminates impurities in a stupendous series, 173. See Veins. The arteries exhibitactive aversion to those substances that are not fit for the blood, 174. The aversi0nof the arteries and the appetency of the veitis respect not only the quantity of Substances, but also the quali ty, ibid. See Carotid Artem. The innermost membrane of the carotid artery is continued through the cortex cerebri into the medullary fibres, and through them again into the vesseis, 181. See Secretion, Vein.

More blood is contained in the least vesseis collectively than in the trunks, 197. The quantity of blood in the body cannot be assigned, because the red blood is ever un- dergoing formation and destruction, 198. The quantity of blood in the body is in reality the quantity of fluid in relation to the solid, 195. The purer blood is priorto the red blood in the heari and every other viscus, 345. See Cause.
