INTERESTING LECTURE ON


H U M A N A N A T O M Y . In connection with thei Wesley Mutual Im­


provement Society, a lecture was given on Tuettl.ay evening by Dr. Barker, tlie subject being, “ The human anatcany." Tlie lecturer, after some preliminary re­


marks, said. As doubtless you are awair^ the subject of Anatomy is a vmst and complicated one. The word anatomy itself means toi cut up,to dissect',with the -view of gaming a know­


ledge of the compositions, struC;ture, and re­ lationship, of tlie various parts of tlie body. Nowad.ays, however, tlie termi anatomy is ap­ plied not only to the means emplcyed, but also to the end obtained, so- that anatomy may be briefly defined as the science of organisa­ tions. Sdentists speak of i . Vegetable an­ atomy, or the .viatomy of plantsj 2. Animal anatomy, or the anatomy cf tlie lower ani­ mals (cemparative anatomy), perhaps the most interesting; 3, Human anatomy, or the anat­ omy oI the human bedy. I t is with this lat­ ter that we are chiefly concerned this evening. To the most casual obsm’er, the human b<^y

sie ns or parts: head, trunk, or limbs. The liead contains the organs of sense, such as die eyes, ears, nose, tongue, etc, and it also gii-es <lcdgem):nt itoj and ^ijL'oteiCts ]the bkaiin—^the great organ of .sensations and volition,s, whicli is continued downwards as Hie spinal cord, in the vertebral canal of tho backbone. The trunk, on further examinaticn, shews


i ; „ , i^ Who.


itself as being divided into two parts, by a large partition knO'Wn. as the diapliragm.


'I’lie upper part or chest, knoini as the thorax, cciitains and protects the heart and lungs, the organs respectively cf circulation and res­ piration, whilst tlie lower part, or a.Momen, contains the chief organs ccncemed in diges­ tion (stomach and intestines) and excretion


(kidneys and Ihur). 'File limbs are arranged in two pairs, upper


and lower, the upper being organs of motion a.nd prehension; the leaver of support and


locomotion. Another obvious divi.sion of tlio iiuinan


body is into two lateral and S)Tnmetrical halves. T’hus, in the head we; iiave two eyes, two ears, two compartments of the nosi', and if the upper part o f the skull be removed, we se e that the brain also is almost complete^ ly separaletl into equal halves as regards its


upper portion. Wlien wo come to tlie chest, we find a ^ n two lungs ]>laced laterallv. and for practicM


purpo.ses equal iin size and. shape, and al­ though tliere is only one heart, it is alscv di­ vided hito two luilves by a median partition, a.nd there is no direct communication what­ ever between these ,ttvo' halves, the blood in tlie rlglit side being sent first to the lungs fcT purification, andTrom thence rctuniing to the left side, from whence it is distributed to all


pails of the body. In the atxlomen, this sqiaratton into h i lv ^


is ceruiinly to a great-, extent lost,-biit it is still distinctly traceable, even in the a.rlult bciiv, and if we study tlie developinent of llie abdomen, and its contents, this division be­ comes perfectly obvious. I fear I must appear to have laboured this


pc.int—I mean the division of the body in'co two lateral and svmetrical halves, but I have done so for a particular pii-rpose, and esiica- allv woiiUl I impress oil you the fact that ob- ^•ious as this clivi.sicn is, Cven in the fully-do vcloped bedy, it is even more so in the body in its incomplete, or ixirtiallyxievcloi^l sbile. I sliall have occasion to refer to this matter later, and I should like now to draw your at­ tention to two oUier important and interesting ncint.s ill tl.e structure, of the human body. I mean, firstly, the cellular tlieor)- of the smic- ture of the Ixidy; and, .secondly, the setting apart, as it wcie, of certain m.a-sses of calls for the ]>erformhJice ]c|f certani fWt-


nite work, an arrangement knoum as “ The iihvsiclr|^ical division of Xalxnir.” As res

cards the first, of these two q u e s t io n ^ th e cellular theorv of the ccnstruction of the bo,U-_I m-ay's-afely say it has passed out cf tlie region of thcoo' into tire realm of ascer­ tained fact. All existing matter, whether liv- in"- or dead, organic or inorganic, is com- ixTscd.of, and m.ny be resolved into molecules, hut a cell is something more tliaiv ft nieio molecule, in a pliysiologtal scaisc) it is a phvsiologic.il appamlus; to a certain, extent, completo, and indejxndent in itsdf. a l i ^ i.s sufficient, reason to- lielieve that eveiy living creature is developed from a germ,aud the first .structure developed from this germ is a


stnicturo, has its origin m this cell. Fire cell multiplies by the development cf other cells within, and each of tirese becomes m turn tire parent of others. Tins goes cn to a cciisiderable extent Irefore any diversity mrUs sho\N"s itself, and in many planls,

I t is in the extent to wliiiich this diffelr'entiatilcint cf p.arts takes placet titat .the difference between wliat wo call a lowly and a highly organised animlal essentially ieixists. The g r e a ^ the differentiation, the higher tlio organisation. And when we come toi moni the most highly organised of tdl living jereatures, we find


pr.acticaiUy tliat no two parts of ,the body are exactly similar, except corresponding parts on opposite sides of the body. This fact, this analog)' and sympathy between corres-


pass. I will try to illustrate this jxdnh by giving you one of two facts (in the nature of statistics) concerning the! lungs,-. . The lungs as you know are tho organs in which impure blood is purified by being brought into con­ tact, or, 1 should say into dose .proximity with the air.

each other. I t would liardly be of much interest to you


if I confined myself strictly to anatomy, and went on simply tci describe! to you the podtdn cf


gans, That is not at aljl the courto I


of any thoughtful man, who from inclinaticns CT necessity, traverses the field of human an­ atomy. Three great features strike me just for the momfc'nt. One is the! beautiful man­ ner in which the various parts of the body are adapted fer tho work for which they are intended, that beauty being by no means de­ tracted from, by the exquisite sim.plicity of the means emplcj-ed. .\nother is the strikingly efficient manner in which the frail a.nd often­ times vital parts of the body are protected from injury. And a tliifd is the m.arvellous way in which) what are really vast s tru c tu ^ , are packed away into tho smallest pcsabla space. I will endeavour to give you illus­ trations cf tlieso three points. Tho first I mentioned was the beautiful -and yet simple manner in which parts of the body are adapt­ ed for the special work before them. One could give endless illrestrations of this par ticular point, but_I shall confine myself to one, and choose a very simple and familiar one. I will take the arm and Ic-g respective­ ly. The arm is an organ cf motion and pre­ hension, that is, it is intended to have frre motoment in every direction, and the liand i.s intended for grasping objects and moving them quickly if need be from place to place. The leg on the other l i ^ d is intmdiid for sup­ port, and for locomotion (that is. for moving


.................... ,


the body from, place to place), and so does not need the free movement in all directions, re­ quired by the arm-. Let us see how these ends are obtained. I should tell you that while the vertebral column or back bone, may be considered as tire central frame work, and chief support of the trunk; the limbs me nc-t connected directly tlreilcto, but indirectly, tire medium of respectively girdles, bones

The shoulder joint is a their homogenecnisnesi', or the all alikeness . eiy shallow one, and allcws free movemimt of the anm all round, whereas, the hiR joint is so dcei> tliat mm-emait is very much limit­ ed, but of course there is a. corresfKmding in­ crease in strcngtlu ,3- n r e d b ow and wrist joints are so arranged that t l e twoi bones form­ ing the fore arm can rotate cn one another, carrt'ing tire ant.- with them; whereas, no snob mo\-cnient is allowed in lire knee and ankle joints, only a simple hinge movement being possible. 4* ^1 thumb is free, and is* placed on a different plane, as it were, with the fin­ gers, and so can bo opposed tcj them; as in grasping any object, whereas this is not the


case in tire foot. The ne.\t point I mentioned was tire stnk-


ingly efficient manner in whicli frail and vital parts are protected. Many examples of this must strike you a t cnee, sufh for instance a.s the apparently miraculous '.vay in which the eye (seemingly so exposed) • escapes injiin'. On the! welfare o f no part of our bo<ly are we more , dq-«ndent

and in is e\'cr


wav all the crgiins of the body—heaiL hmg^ s’o'm.ach, liver, and so forth, are iillim.atUv developed.. As you know, each set cf cells


hnr. it.s particular luse or fnndicn—the) mus­ cle cell to iiroduce motion, tire nen-e cell to earn- me.ssagcs of sensation, and the slcrnach cell for lire purposes of digesticn and volmoi, e tc .; and the body comes, a-s it were, to be a


community cf cells, each part dent for its welfare on tire well-being and


pro'.ccteil.

In addition to this further pro­ visions again.stl slreck are in cvitlence. One of these is the arching of the foot. I f anyone ahlv one trial will suffice to biing conviction. 'Fliose cf you who arc by nature observant, mav have noticed the curves in tins diagrain of the vertebral column. They answer the doubts this let him. jump from the height; s.ay a yard, alighting on his toes, and then repeat, lire exireriment alighting on his heels.

Again, inorganic axe kno^vn by the fact that their molecules have a mutual and nece.ssax)’ relation to each other, and cannot jire-scn’e an independent existence. 1 lurdly, inorganic substances are known by tho sim­ plicity of tlreir chemical composition and pro- irerties, whilst organic on the other hand ex­ hibit an extreme complexity’ and variety m the union cf their compesing eJpmeiiLs. T h a t inorganic substances are eititer simply solid liquid, or gaseous, and never exhibit a union of fluid and solid parts, whereas in living matter, the fluid and seJid parts are intimate­ ly combined tcgedier, and mutually influence e.-’Ich othefe-. iRuHly, luu^rganic substances-

and which denies the pretonce, cr at all evrats the necessity cf any supernatural agency what- over. I should like to compare and contrast .the development, the coropositiens and pro­ perties of the human body with, the d e v e l^ - ment, tlio composMcns and properties of an inorganic body, such as a crystal. As regards the first of these points—tbe development. An inorganic! body such as a crystal, com­ mences as a central nucleus, and increases depositions on its outer surface, its form h ^ ing necessarily determimed by the. inode^ in which tho deposit, takes place, its composition and specific gravity are fixirf, and its size can only be increased by deposits laid on its outer surface. I t is quite impossible that any ad­ ditional particles can insinuate themselves be- between those of tho mass previously e-xistmg. Organised bodies cf the. animal kingdoni grow and increase by a process tliS reverse of this. The development of each jxirt taken smgly, and of the whole body taken in its aggreplte, begins at the circumference, and thence pro­ ceeds towards the centre, so that tlie outline cf each part, and of tlia whole is first sketch­ ed and wlien this completion is effected by successive deposits toking place from circunv ferened to centre. The process of growth then is a living organisrrj, is the very reverse of what .takes place in tho formatitm cf a ciystal. I referred a short time back to the fact tliat the human body showed a very dis­ tinct division into tivo lateral and symmetrical halves, and that tliis di-vision was still more apparent during the process of develojpmOTt, and as a matter of f.iot as scon as the differ­ ent texUires of the body are distinguishable, it is found that each ergin and part of tlie body is in the first instance double, its parts being placed laterally with regard to one an­ other, but as the process cf nutrition goes on they gradually approach and unite so as to form organs usually termed single 1 ins then,
