COMPLEX APPARATUS FOR NUTRITION. 95 organs; the principle of the division of labour being carried to a much greater extent than in the inferior departments of the animal creation. Be- sides the stomach, or receptacle for the unassimi- lated food, another organ, the heart, is provided for the uniform distribution of the nutritious fluids elaborated by the organs of digestion. This sepa- ration of functions, again, leads to the introduction of another system of canals or vessels, for trans- mitting the fluids from the organs which prepare them to the heart, as into a general reservoir. In the higher orders of the animal kingdom, all these processes are again subdivided and varied, accord- ing to the species of food, the habits, and mode of life, assigned by nature to each individual species. For the purpose of conveying clearer notions of the arrangement of this extensive system of vital organs, I have drawn the annexed plan (Fig 265), which. exhibits them in their natural order of connexion, and as they might be supposed to appear in a side view of the interior of a quadruped.
