It is not my present intention to explain all the circumstances connected with muscular contraction and relaxation, nor that other power of action introduced into, an animal body, called elasticity.* I propose only to state a few of the facts which throw some light upon the vascular system, by showing that there is in vessels a power of muscular action, and that the cooperation of elasticity is also necessary to their function. These may likewise assist in explaining the manner in which the two powers are combined. I may, however, occasionally be led to mention causes and effects which cannot be immediately considered as applicable to the vessels themselves, though they will render many of the phenomena in the vascular system more easy to be understood;. * [See Croonian Lectures on Muscular Motion, &c., in the succeeding volume of this edition.] - 13*
