His evidence for a completely closed circulation, even on this basis, was so conclusive that the capillary portion of that circulation could be taken practically for granted. It was, in fact, 50 years before the capillaries themselves were observed under the microscope.It seems as if investigation of capillary physiology has never been able quite to overcome this initial handicap of half a century. The heart and...Bibliography1. STARLING EH: On the absorption of fluids from the connective tissue spaces, Jr. Physiol., 1896, xix, 312. CrossrefGoogle Scholar2.
