Nutrition is that function by which the nutritive matter already elaborated by the various organic actions. loses its own nature, and assumes that of the different living tissues,-to repair their losses and maintain their strength. Sometimes the word is used in a more extended signification, to express the whole series of actions by which the two constant movements of composition and decomposition are accomplished, in organized bodies. Nutrition, then, would comprehend digestion, absorption, respiration, circulation, and assimilation; the latter being nutrition, properly so called, and being effected in the intermediate system over the whole of the body,-the cells of the tissues attracting from the blood the elements necessary for their reparation.
