While you are experimenting, do not remain content with the surface of things.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about things
Appetite, craving for food, is a constant and powerful stimulator of the gastric glands.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about food
As was to be expected, the discovery of the nervous apparatus of the salivary glands immediately impelled physiologists to seek a similar apparatus in other glands lying deeper in the digestive canal.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about revelation, lie
As we have seen, bread, and especially dry bread, evokes secretion of considerably larger quantities of saliva than meat.
But man has still another powerful resource: natural science with its strictly objective methods.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about power, purpose, science, man
Don't become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about origin
Edible substances evoke the secretion of thick, concentrated saliva, why, the answer, obviously, is that this enables the mass of food to pass smoothly through the tube leading from the mouth into the stomach.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about concentration, food
From the described experiment it is clear that the mere act of eating, the food even not reaching the stomach, determines the stimulation of the gastric glands.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about food
In this way we often had to perform very minute operations, sometimes several of them on one and the same animal.
It goes without saying that the desire to accomplish the task with more confidence, to avoid wasting time and labour, and to spare our experimental animals as much as possible, made us strictly observe all the precautions taken by surgeons in...Quote by Ivan Pavlov about animals, respect, time
It has long been known for sure that the sight of tasty food makes a hungry man's mouth water, also lack of appetite has always been regarded as an undesirable phenomenon, from which one might conclude that appetite is essentially linked with the...Quote by Ivan Pavlov about food, water, man
It is clear to all that the animal organism is a highly complex system consisting of an almost infinite series of parts connected both with one another and, as a total complex, with the surrounding world, with which it is in a state of equilibrium.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about infinite, state, world
It is not accidental that all phenomen of human life are dominated by the search for daily bread the oldest link connecting all living things, man included, with the surrounding nature.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about life, nature, human imperfections, things, man
Long before us it was established that the work of the salivary glands is regulated by a complex nervous apparatus.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about work
Only by observing this condition would the results of our work be regarded as fully conclusive and as having elucidated the normal course of the phenomena.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about work
Our experiments not only proved the existence of a nervous apparatus in the above-mentioned glands, but also disclosed some facts clearly showing the participation of these nerves in normal activity.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about activity, existence
Our success was mainly due to the fact that we stimulated the nerves of animals that easily stood on their own feet and were not subjected to any painful stimulus either during or immediately before stimulation of their nerves.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about succes, animals
Perfect as the wing of a bird may be, it will never enable the bird to fly if unsupported by the air. Facts are the air of science. Without them a man of science can never rise.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about air, science, perfection, man
Physiology has, at last, gained control over the nerves which stimulate the gastric glands and the pancreas.Quote by Ivan Pavlov about medicine
