SECRETION. 



[CHAP, xxxn 



and the secretion of the pancreas (p. 246) and the liver (p. 256J, 

 have been already spoken of, and the structure only of the two 

 latter remains to be considered. The kidneys and their secretion 

 will follow; and we shall defer the consideration of the glands 

 relating to the reproductive function to the chapters devoted to 

 that subject. Such are the ovaries, the testes, the prostate, 

 Cowper's glands, the mammse. 



The following works may be consulted upon the subject of secretion : 

 Articles, "Secretion," and "Mucous Membrane," in the Cyclopaedia of Anatomy 

 and Physiology. "Anatomical and Pathological Observations," Professor 

 Goodsir, 1845. " Lectures on Nutrition," Professor Paget. Medical Gazette, 

 1847. "Principles of Human Physiology," Dr. Carpenter.
