Excerpt from Physiology of Farm Animals, Vol. 1 Many of the functions of the body are essentially similar throughout the whole animal kingdom, and among Vertebrates there is a still closer likeness. Thus the processes of digestion in a frog, a bird, a rabbit, a horse, and a man are broadly speak ing Similar, though there are of course very marked differences which are generally greater the less closely related the animals are. So also the general laws governing the nature of nerve impulses, the movements of the heart, or the processes of repro duction are identical in every case. Thus by investigating any of these processes in a frog or in a rabbit, for example, we can learn a great deal about the functional activities of a horse, or a sheep, or a cow; and it is desirable that before specialising upon the Physiology of farm animals we should possess a general knowledge of the principles of the science obtained by studying whatever animals are most convenient for this purpose.
