ARTICULATA. 



ERECTILE TISSUE.) Thus an aneurism by 

 anastomosis is made to increase by heat, by 

 passion, or by excess of any description, and 

 by the removal of these, or by the application 

 of opposite influences, its growth may be 

 checked, or its pulsation stopped. But when 

 once formed, it remains for ever, unless re- 

 moved by spontaneous ulceration, by adhesive 

 inflammation of the cells, or by operation; for 

 although, if the general circulation be depressed, 

 that in the tumour will be less active also, yet 

 the structure is there still unaltered and ready 

 to receive the blood and to exhibit all its 

 wonted phenomena whenever the requisite sti- 

 mulus is applied.

ARTICULATA (articulus, a joint,) a pri- 

 mary division of the animal kingdom founded 

 by Cuvier,* and characterized by him as follows : 

 " Body jointed externally, corresponding to the 

 divisions of the nervous system internally : a 

 very small brain placed above the oesophagus 

 gives off two filaments which extend along the 

 abdomen and unite together from distance to 

 distance by means of ganglions, which resem- 

 ble as many small brains, from which nerves 

 are given off. The muscular system is disposed 

 on the inside of the rings or segments of the 

 body so as to separate and approximate these 

 segments; when there are articulated mem- 

 bers, the muscles of these parts are also placed 

 within the hard parts. The divisibility of the 

 body, and the power which the fragments 

 possess of retaining a kind of independent 



*This division was virtually established by Cuvier 

 in his earliest work, the f< Tableau Elementaire de 

 1'Histoire Naturelle des Animaux/' although it was 

 not defined with that clearness, nor its characters 

 so fully developed as in the Regne Animal. In the 

 " Tableau Elementaire " the second section of 

 ' white-blooded animals,' including the Insecta and 

 part of the Vermes of Linnaeus, corresponds pre- 

 cisely with Lamarck's division of invertebrate 

 animals, which he first denominated ' Articulosa/ 

 (Hist. Nat. des Animaux sans Vertebr. torn. i. p, 

 454.)
