Blood-Vessels.  --on the next lap we have a graphic illustration of the internal arrangements of the blood-vessels of the lungs and bronchial tubes.  The pulmonary artery, arising from the right ventricle of the heart, conveys the venous blood to the lungs.  It penetrates the lungs and divides and subdivides into branches, which accompanied the bronchial tubes and terminate in a dense capillary net-work upon the walls of their cells, where the blood undergoes that magical change, giving up its poisonous qualities and becoming revivified and healthful.

_______________ Note the use of the word 'net-work', obviously an early predecessor to the very common word network.  I found this little nugget of gold to be very interesting as networks are so synonymous in today's world and speech, and found it very amusing to find an example of the early use of the word before it had truly come together into its modern-day form, which even today is now abbreviated to a more common usage of "net,"  I guess we take the "work" in network for granted these days. :-) For more on the entymology of the word Network see http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?search=network&searchmode=none

• Body Sculpture Turns to Lipo Sculpture
  
  

  There was a time when people carved the human figure and marble or would grieve and dipped it in a precious metal like gold or bronze.  Michelangelo’s David might even be considered an example of man’s attempt to sculpt the perfect person.

  That was hundreds of years ago and today we are reaching a point where we can literally sculpt the perfect person while they are alive.  I’m not talking about anything macabre, I’m talking about the science of plastic surgery.

  Today people have the option of going to a surgeon to have imperfections in the body corrected.  They can seek los angeles cosmetic surgery experts to help them correct or crooked nose or improve a smile or he raise harder and wrinkles and provide a net or talk or boost.

  With the invention of the technique known as liposuction, and all of the advances that are made in this technique year after year and month after month, people can now scope their body to fit the mold and model in their minds eye.  People travel from many different places to have their figure or their body re-formed by the hands of a beverly hills liposculpture Doctor.

  Within a short amount of time in a short amount of recovery they can go back out of the world literally a new person.

  This type of concept would have been completely foreign to people hundred years ago.  Surgery in general was extremely risky a hundred years ago, and it would have been completely impractical and even dangerous back then to consider cosmetic surgery.  It’s amazing what a hundred years can do for this particular science.  Surgery is still very serious and dangerous, but science and medicine have improved so drastically that the mortality rate for general surgery is nowhere near what it used to be and now doctors can even perform smaller surgeries with techniques that are becoming less and less invasive every single year.

• The Veins
  
  

  The Veins.–The venal arteries are derived direct from the aorta; and the large veins terminate in the ascending large vein. On the right kidney is seeing the super-renal capsule; whilst the left is cut vertically into showing the uriniferous tubes, much convoluted and inosculating with each other.  The ureter is seen arising from the pelvis of the kidney, descending in an oblique manner to the bladder.  These wonderful little organs appear to act as filters, and thus assist to keep the vital stream of life and as pure and as healthy a condition as possible.

  The Bladder.–The bladder is a thin, membranous bag, which serves as he receiver of the year and secreted by the kidneys, and which remains there until voided by your nation through the urethra.

  Bone Sections.– the sections of the bones show their cancellated appearance, which combines lightness with strength.

   

  As I was putting together the section and transcribing it from the book, the translation software had quit the difficulty with several of the words in this section.  Uriniferous actually stood out as eight extra troubling word.

• Muscles of the Face and Neck
  
  

  Now we move into the next section after we’ve covered the intro.  The pictures are available in Chart1.

  Muscles of the Face and Neck – this fine plate is a remarkably realistic and accurate representation of the head and neck, after the outer skin has been removed. It shows the bare skull, together with the admirable and skillful arrangement of the muscles of the face and neck; also the external part of the ear. There are, also, numerous blood — vessels noticed meandering over the parts exposed to view, by means of which this muscular area receives its a plant nutrient blood. The large, broad muscle observed over the four head is the one by which we elevate the brow, and in conjunction with the more orbicular muscle in his scenes surrounding the eye,we can contract the brow, as in “scowling.”

  Muscles of the Face — The muscles of the face are those employed to give variety of expression to the countenance. It is through the medium of the small but useful muscles that public speakers can get facial emphasis to their flow of rhetorical eloquence; the tragedian employs them to get dramatic effect to the various characters he impersonates, and the low comedienne and “clown” cultivate them for facial contortions and “guying” characterization. The numerous muscles observed about the neck are those which give elasticity and mobility to the head. It is by means of these muscles that the head can rotate on its axis, then forward, backward, sideways, and pose in the diversified attitudes in various positions it can be made to assume.

  Of this next section there are a couple goes full items that are of some interest. One of those as though use of the word tragedian, which surprised me for two reasons:

  1. Because it was used at all, and too.
  2. Because my voice recognition program picked it up on the first try.

  in addition to links to examples are analogies such as clowns or comedians is somewhat archaic today. I don’t think anyone today” hundred years later would use a similar analogy. However the turn of the century and a time when vaudeville was popular and moving pictures were still a couple decades away, I can see how this may have been a little bit more of a medical marvel.
