Blood -- Circulation -- Early works to 1800; Embryology -- Early works to 1800; Physiology -- Early works to 1800

III. Of the Motions of Arteries, as seen in the Dissection of
Living Animals                                                        24

IV. Of the Motion of the Heart and its Auricles, as seen in the Bodies
of Living Animals                                                     26

V. Of the Motion, Action, and Office of the Heart                     31

VI. Of the Course by which the Blood is carried from the Vena Cava
into the Arteries, or from the Right into the Left Ventricle of
the Heart                                                             35

VII. The Blood percolates the Substance of the Lungs from the Right
Ventricle of the Heart into the Pulmonary Veins and Left
Ventricle                                                             40

VIII. Of the Quantity of Blood passing through the Heart from the
Veins to the Arteries; and of the Circular Motion of the
Blood                                                                 45

IX. That there is a Circulation of the Blood is confirmed from the
first proposition                                                     48

X. The First Position: of the Quantity of Blood passing from the
Veins to the Arteries. And that there is a Circuit of the
Blood, freed from objections, and farther confirmed by Experiment     52

XI. The Second Position is demonstrated                               54

XII. That there is a Circulation of the Blood is shown from the
Second Position demonstrated                                          60

XIII. The Third Position is confirmed: and the Circulation of the
Blood is demonstrated from it                                         62

XIV. Conclusion of the Demonstration of the Circulation               68

XV. The Circulation of the Blood is further confirmed by probable
reasons      ib.

XVI. The Circulation of the Blood is further proved from certain
consequences                                                          71

XVII. The Motion and Circulation of the Blood are confirmed from the
particulars apparent in the Structure of the Heart, and from
those things which Dissection unfolds                                 75


THE FIRST ANATOMICAL DISQUISITION ON THE CIRCULATION
OF THE BLOOD, ADDRESSED TO JOHN RIOLAN                                89


A SECOND DISQUISITION TO JOHN RIOLAN; IN WHICH
MANY OBJECTIONS TO THE CIRCULATION OF THE BLOOD
ARE REFUTED                                                          109


ANATOMICAL EXERCISES ON THE GENERATION OF ANIMALS; TO
WHICH ARE ADDED, ESSAYS ON PARTURITION; ON THE MEMBRANES,
AND FLUIDS OF THE UTERUS; AND ON CONCEPTION.
