Elements Of Physiology And Hygiene PDF Download

Excerpt from Elements of Physiology and Hygiene A plant takes up the matter intended for its growth by means of vessels, or open mouths provided for that purpose, either in its roots or leaves. In these vessels, this matter undergoes the changes that fit it to become a part of the living plant, and by them it is carried to its proper place and built into the structure of the body. These instruments by which the food is absorbed, pre pared, and deposited are called Organs, and the body thus formed is an Organic body.
