He showed that the intestine and the muscles even after removal from the body exhibit movement in response to certain agents acting on them. Such reactions were the evidence of his perceptio vitalis. One development of Glisson's theme culminated in the next century in ...Haller's investigation of the irritability of skeletal muscle* or "muscle*" as it was then called* for not until much later was "smooth muscle" considered to be or included along with "muscle." As regards muscle in that older sense of the word* Haller in the eighteenth century established as a concrete example of perceptio pitalis the property which he termed "irritability*" but which we know tOKiay as "contractility." 264 THE WORD "TONUS** AS A PHYSIOLOGICAL TERM The defect in his analysis is from the modem standpoint that he did not sufficiently realise that the contraction is only the end link in a chain of events between stimulus and final reaction.
