Édition originale de cette importante étude sur la physiologie du sang. "Bernard's series of lectures on liquids of the organism contains his first usage of the expression 'milieu' to express a controlled and constant internal environment. This fundamental physiological concept, for which he later coined the term 'milieu intérieure' would become as valuable to physiology as Darwin's theory of evolution (published the same year) was to biology. The work also presents Bernard's fourth and last major discovery in the field of animal experimentation: that the blood supply of secretory organs such as glands is regulated by vasomotor and vasoconstrictor nerves, which respond to the presence or absence of stimulus in the organ" (Norman).
