He explains the functional autoformation of the purposive structure by a combination of Darwin's principle of selection with Lamarck's idea of transformative heredity, and applies the two in conjunction to the facts of histology.
It is inconceivable, he says, that so many processes of selection should take place simultaneously, and we are therefore forced to fall back on the Lamarckian factor of the use and disuse of functional parts.

UNITS of the body, functionalindependence of the, ii.
In this class are found most of the instances of "functional modification" or acquired characteristics.
In discussing the general subject of variation and variability in this connection, we must take always into account the biological distinction between variation and functional modification, between innate and acquired traits.

Functional relation, the application of the, 112 ff.
Functional Kidney Tests~ are made to determine the character and extent of the impairment of the functions of the kidneys.
If the case is a mild one, this may be sufficient to free the urine from sugar, but the diet is given primarily to enable the physician to find out by means of urinalysis just how great is the functional impairment.
The inspiration which was supposed to be conferred by them, conferred no general infallibility--it was strictly functional and did not extend beyond the limits of the gift.
Even at the present day it is a very common idea that the gift of inspiration cannot possibly be a functional one which is limited to a definite subject-matter, but that it must confer a general infallibility.
Equally functional were these gifts, each being confined to its own proper subject-matter.
It can thus be seen that from a functional point of view both the Gestapo and the SD were important and closely related groups within the organization of the Security Police and the SD.
The quality of functional disorder or weakness of the nervous system in certain respects.
Then this particular form will no longer thrive; but some other form of bacterium may find in it the properties required for functional activity, and may grow vigorously.
The power of bacteria to cause pathological changes may thus be weakened and attenuated; in other words, their functional power for evil is taken from them by alterations in the soil.
These facts would indicate that they are not of high functional importance; and they seem so generally occupied by testes (Pl.
It is impossible to behold these organs, and doubt that they are of high functionalimportance to the animal.
Such a glycosuria must necessarily be temporary and a purely functional disorder.
Debilitating influences, such as bad air, want of cleanliness and outdoor exercise, impair functional activity in the intestines as elsewhere.
But still I maintain that between a prostate and a uterus, as between a coccygeal bone and a vertebra, the only difference which exists is one of quantity, and that hence arises the functional difference.
As the thoracic viscera differ in form and functional character from those of the abdomen, so we find that the arterial branches which are supplied by the aorta to each set, differ likewise in some degree.
The liver having the duct, is functional as a gland, while the spleen having no duct, cannot serve any such function.

As a functional disorder of the brain, arising from inordinate mental activity, it has received scarcely any notice.
