Abstract

In dealing with the physiology of expression we are concerned solely with facts in the history of living beings, plants and animals, including man; the sections of physiology that we are mainly concerned with are those involving questions of movement and nutrition. In this chapter, the following topics are discussed: (1) modes of movement in plants and amoebas; (2) nerve mechanisms of vertebrates; (3) cerebral localization and nerve centers; (4) visual perception as indicated by movements; (5) time as a requisite for a reflex movement; (6) inhibition of movement; (7) physiological effects of light in man and plants; these include the stimulation of movement and retentiveness.
