less skillfully than the specialist cell

less skillfully than the specialist cell
but it still can do it, after a fashion.
This is the liver cell So when the
physiologist studies the functions Of the
liver he is getting very close to the
primeval conditions from which the
higher organisms have arisen. The liver
is the only part of the mammalian body
which has much capacity for regenera-
ton. This is present in the whole body
in some lower organisms. An earth
worm can be cut in two and is not
greatly inconvenienced. 1t simply grows
new half from the direction Of the
head. Cut off the arm of star fish
and it grows a new one.
Cell Restores Self.
But a man will never grow q new
finger or dog a new paw. The highly
specialized cells have lost all capacity
for regeneration. The man must re-
main fingerlesS or the dog pawless for
the remainder of life.
But the liver, DR.. MarkowitZ says, has
the strange capacity of the earthworm.
So long as any of 1t IS left 1t will re-
store itself to the original size and
form. Great slices can be cut of q
dogs liver without seriously incon-
veniencing the animal. They simply
grow back. This apparently is one of
the great protective devices Of the liv-
ing organism.
Actually liver operation is one of
the most dangerous to which human
being can be subjected because of the
danger Of bleeding. But if this was
overcome there Is no reason why half a
mans liver could not be cut out be-
cause of some pathological condition,
the patient make perfect recovery.
and no Ill after effects be experienced.
The liver simply would regenerate it
SELF
Thus the experiments with dogs in
the Georgetown laboratory are enabling
the Psychologists to get very close to
the basic phenomena of life itself. as 1t
is manifested in the higher organisms.
The liver appears increasingly as the
basic block upon which rests the ever
heightening and narrowing pyramid OF
animal life, which has the infinitely
specialized brain Of man at its apex.
