How ? That leads us to consider the organs of circulation. Everywhere in the body there are minute blood- vessels, called capillaries, forming a close network, and along with these there is a separate system of vessels called the lymphatics. We do not consider the latter here, except to say that ultimately they communicate with the bloodvessels. We regard the bloodvessels (from our point of view of the distribution of nutritive matter) as beginning in the walls of the alimentary canal. There th...e capillaries form a very close network just within the internal lining (the mucous membrane), and the liquids in the alimentary canal are separated from that in the capillaries by the mucous membrane, some very loose connective tissue, and the very delicate walls of the capillaries themselves. So it is easy for the digested, soluble food substance to soak through the mucous membrane, the loose submucous layer, and the walls of the capillaries. Now the " soaking " through is not the same process as the soaking of a few drops of 62 THE MECHANISM OF LIFE soup through a piece of porous blotting-paper; in the latter case the liquid soup goes through unchanged, except for the solid particles, which are kept back by the blotting-paper, while the living cells of the mucous and other membranes act on the digested food matters.
