CHAPTER VI. 



MECHANISM OF THE FORMATION AND DISCHAEGE OF FEINE. 



Formation of the excrementitious constituents of the urine in the tissues, 

 absorption of these principles by the blood, and separation of them from 

 the blood by the kidneys Effects of removal of both kidneys from a liv- 

 ing animal Effects of tying the urelers in a living animal Extirpation of 

 one kidney Influence of blood-pressure, the nervous system, etc., upon 

 the secretion of urine Effects of the destruction of all the nerves going 

 to the kidneys Alternation in the action of the kidneys upon the two 

 sides Changes in the composition of the blood in passing through the 

 kidneys Physiological anatomy of the urinary passages Mechanism of 

 the discharge of urine, 162
