His name is usually associated with his "Law of the Heart,” but his discovery of secretin (the first hormone whose mode of action was explained) and his work on capillaries were more important contributions. He coined the word 'hormone' one hundred years ago. His analysis of capillary function demonstrated that equal and opposite forces move across the capillary wall--an outward (hydrostatic) force and an inward (osmotic) force derived from plasma proteins.People and ideas series.PhysiologistsGreat BritainBiographyPhysiologists612/.0092BHenderson John1949-1133153MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784527903321A life of Ernest Starling3800315UNINA
