Lest We Forget - Wireless Anatomy Commentary
Definitions
Physiology is the science of the activity of living things; anatomy, the structure. An organism is anything that carries out the functions of life. An organ may be defined as a part of the body that has one special kind of work to do. A tissue is a single kind of living material with the power of doing a single kind of work. Connective tissue occurs throughout the whole body, binding together the different parts.
Commentary from a Wireless Energy Viewpoint
The life energy - Prana - is a step-down current from the Eternal Sound Current which supports all living things. The origin of life is in the pattern-field of the mental plane where it splits into potential sensory and motor currents. Its action is in the etheric field (akash [akasha, aakaasha]), and its center is in that thousand-rayed whirling disk of energy which supports all visible creation. In the body, the heart chakra is the microcosmic life center which draws energy from within its center as the individualized life Prana. Externally, the sun is the source of Prana and life. In combustible matter, it is stored as heat units.
The structure of the anatomy is the field of crystallized energy waves of circles and curved lines of beauty and strength in living forms. The tattwas [tattvas] are the fields of sensory currents and the operation of the five senses. The five motor senses belong to the five Prana currents and the positive pole of action. Organism, organs, and tissues express the field of action of the five states of matter in conjunction with the mind action as the neuter [neutral] pole, and Prana, the positive motor function, supporting all action.

(A) Nucleus.
(B) Protoplasm.
Smooth muscle cells from the intestine of a cat: In 1 isolated; in 2 and 3, in cross-section; X 300. Technic No. 172. At a the cell is cut in the plane of the nucleus; at c, in the neighborhood of the pointed end. In 3 (from Barfurth[1]) is seen the manner in which neighboring cells are joined to each other by intercellular bridges.

(A) Sarcolemma
Striated muscle-fiber of frog, showing sarcolemma.

(A) Nucleus.
(B) Contractile substance.
Longitudinal and cross-section of muscle-fibers from the human myocardium, hardened in alcohol; X 640. The muscle cells in the longitudinal section are not sharply defined from each other, and appear as polynuclear fibers blending with each other. Between them lie, here and there, connective-tissue nuclei.

LEST WE FORGET
Protoplasm seems to be the first mold or pattern of organic matter. A peculiarity of muscle substance is that it contracts in only one direction, while UNDIFFERENTIATED PROTOPLASM CONTRACTS IN ALL DIRECTIONS. Protoplasm is that part of the cell which is really alive;
