Coagulation appears to be a vital process, that is, dependent on life for its development, and not on chemical laws only. It can be prevented by any thing that destroys life, such as poisons, or a temperature too high, or too low. Fibrine does not exist in the muscles. That which has been called such is muscu- line, which is endowed with the vital property called contractil- ity. Globuline occurs only in the red corpuscles of the blood. Osteine is the substance from which gluten is made, by the action of boiling water, for gluten does not naturally exist in the body. Osteine is the essential organic element in bone. 34. Hcmaline.—Hema- tine is the coloring matter of the blood, and though iron is found in connec- tion with it, all the iron can be abstracted without destroying the color. Hence, that can not de- pend on the iron. He- matine is probably pro- duced from certain red crystals, occurring in the red corpuscles. A group of these crystals is here shown. 35. Proteine Compounds.—All the organic or coagulable principles contain nitrogen, or rather, are composed essen- tially of oxygen, hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen. Hence, their value as food, since a greater part of the body is composed of these elements. Albumen, fibrine, and caseine have been termed Proteine Compounds, for they can easily be changed Is fibrine found in muscular tissue ? What is the proximate principle of muscular tis- sue? Where does globuline and osteine occur? 84. What is the coloring matter of the blood? Has iron any thing to do with its color? What is the ITematine produced from ? 35. What four simple elements make up all the organic principles? Why are albumen, etc., termed Proteine compounds ? Fig. 3.
