‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- Heirs of Hippocrates N° 1796 : "This work covers the physiology and pathology of blood and other body fluids" ---- Norman N° 203 : "Bernard's series of lectures on the liquids of the organism contains his first usage of the expression milieu to express a controlled and constant internal environment (i.e., the blood) mediating between the life of the organism and its external environment. This fundamental physiological concept, for which he later coined the term milieu intérieure , would become as valuable to physiology as Darwin's theory of evolution was to biology. The work also presents Bernard's fourth and last major discovery in the field of animal experimentation : that the blood supply of secretory organs such as glands is regulated by vasomotor and vasoconstrictor nerves, which respond to the presence or absence of stimulus in the organ" ---- DSB II pp. 24/34**436/D2+426/CART4+7556/CART27577/CART4+7567(2e)/CART4‎
