Thirst is a want for water, a state of the organism that impels us to drink; and when we are in this state, we like a drink, a drink is pleasant then.
Further, any mental activity can also be regarded as a physiological activity, in which case it is analyzed into the action of bodily organs, whereas as "mental" it simply comes from the organism or individual as a whole.

A large proportion of them are protective in one way or another, while others might be called regulative, in that they adjust theorganism to the conditions affecting it.
That, however, was potential energy, dormant within the organism till aroused; but what we have here in mind is active or kinetic energy.
There is another way in which the organism counts in determining its reaction.
The stimulus acts on the organismand the organism acts back.
It should be said, however, that stimuli, such as that of hunger, may arise within the organism itself.

Death from disease arises either when the organism is congenitally defective in its power to balance ordinary internal actions, or when there has taken place some unusual external action to which there was no answering internal action.
These cells are thus endowed with the power of developing a new organism of the same kind, each gemmule reproducing the cell from which it was derived.
Eimer, "Every character which must have been formed through the activity of the organism is an acquired character.
And yet at every stage of descent the organism may have obtained fresh characters, or at least have undergone some modification.
The first of these theories is that of Darwin, and the last that of Weismann, whose notion of the continuity of germ-plasm supposes that no part of an organism generates any of the formative material which goes to make up its offspring.
It may not be flattering to our national vanity to look upon ourselves as the product of the selection of the micro-organism of measles, scarlet fever, smallpox, etc.
But this instinct does not exist in the case in question; there is no tool-making instinct: our tool has to be evolved through reason and experience, without the aid of any special organismfor the purpose.
But, on the other hand, the complex organism becoming mature, resolves itself again into the simple germ, and finally is dissolved into its constituent elements.
If so, in contemplating this organism we are in the presence of one of the greatest of natural wonders--brought nearer then in any other case to the actual workshop of the Almighty Maker.
For the analogy between nature and true art is not a fanciful one, and the relation of function to organism is the same in both.
Her great desire from the first has been to grow an organism so conscious that it can turn round and look at her with intelligent eyes.
Hitherto, the public librarian has been more concerned with the minds and the morals of his clientele than with that physical organism without which neither mind nor morals would be of much use.
If the action of a drug on the organismis chemical, and if neither the drug nor the organism has changed, the action must be the same.
How about the other factor in the reaction--the human organismand its properties?
Our whole organism is subsidiary to action and he who stops short of it has surely failed to live.
The action of most substances on the human organism is a function of their chemical constitution.
Now, in accordance with a general law to be considered in a future chapter, the life-history of an individual organism is a kind of condensed recapitulation of the life-history of its species.
The theory of evolution supposes that hereditary characters admit of being slowly modified wherever their modification will render an organism better suited to a change in its conditions of life.
Even when propagated by budding, a multicellular organism has been ultimately derived from a germ-cell.
Again, we have seen that there is no correlation between the importance of any structure from a classificatory point of view, and the importance of that structure to the organism which presents it.
Therefore, where the parent-cell is an ovum, it follows from this view that all hereditary qualities of the future organismare potentially present in the ultra-microscopical structure of the chromatin fibres.
How marvellous the security in this being which abandons everything, which unhesitatingly dismisses its strong and solid existence, the complicated organism which just now was itself, its own individuality!
Some are tubes through which the air enters the wing, and distends it for flight; others are tiny veins where circulate the powerful liquids that endow the imperceptible organism with its colours and its energy.
And yet the clothed creature, which contains in itsorganism a complete silk-manufactory, will almost immediately sweep away the complex system.
It teaches us that organism is not everything, and that there is a potency in life which acts strongly beyond the range and in despite of the organs.
It is impossible to speak of insects or molluscs without naming these animalcules, which seem to be their rough outline, and in the extreme simplicity of their organism already foretoken, indicate, and prepare for them.
The other point is a trifle and reflects, perhaps, on a curiosity of our economic organism rather than on the India Office.
It is not likely that we shall leave permanently the most intimate adjustments of our economic organism at the mercy of a lucky prospector, a new chemical process, or a change of ideas in Asia.
No matter how well you may know each single part, yet you will not understand the whole machine or organism by this means alone.
You will readily see that this is a mistake when you consider that, to illustrate, a machine or an organism as a whole is still something more than a mere sum of its parts.
It seems obvious in fact that life in any organism can only be maintained by some such processes as these--by which parasitic or infesting organisms are either thrown off or absorbed into subjection.
To define the nature of the power which thus works towards and creates the distinctive unity of each organism may be difficult, is probably at present impossible, but that some such power exists we can hardly refuse to admit.
The light, the shadows, falling on the sensitive general surface of a primitive organism provoke a tactile irritation.
This I suppose is expressed in the biological dictum, "organism is made by function as well as environment.
When a living organism comes to birth, an individual ether-body is formed out of the general etheric substance of the universe.
Disturbance of this alternation in one direction or the other makes it difficult for the organism to react in full wakefulness or normal sleep.
Growing out from the interior of the embryonic organism is a structure that is gradually pushed in, and in its further development becomes the entire posterior part of the eye, destined to carry its life-imbued functions.
Resolving normal tones by Helmholtz's method (useful as it is for certain purposes) amounts to something like dissecting a living, ensouled organism into its members; only the parts of the corpse remain in our hands.
In this way we come to see the human organismas a realm of interpenetrating spheres of distinctive physiological activities.
In this way the parallelogram of forces becomes an inner experience of our organism at the beginning of our earthly life.

We know that the presence of waking consciousness within the nerves-and-senses organism rests upon the fact that the connexion between physical body and etheric body is there the most external of all.
This points to the possession by the human organism of an 'inner' light which first forms the eye from within, in order that it may afterwards meet the light outside.
Only gradually certain parts of such an organism become precipitated, as it were, from the general organic structure, and they do so increasingly towards the end of that organism's life-span.
It is surely extraordinary how all the scattered atoms of a race can share the diseases of the central organism from which they sprang.
In such cases as those quoted the result may be due only to subtle powers of the human organism which some have developed and others have not.
