“ The provinces of Anatomy and Physiology may now, we believe, be looked upon as distinctly and permanently defined. Anatomy is understood to treat solely of the Structure of Living Bodies, and Physiology solely of their Functions. ”

“ The descriptive detail of the structure of Living Bodies is no longer distracted and obscured by superficial and unconnected views of their functions; nor their functions carelessly discussed, in the form of occasional and uninstructive commentaries on the descriptions of their structure. Each is made the subject of separate and particular investigation; and not only has Anatomy been thus rendered more accurate and precise, but a more regular and philosophical form has been given to Physiology, and its progressive improvement rendered more sure. ”
