Ernest Starling (1866-1927) was pre-eminent in the golden age of
British Physiology. 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.
Starling??'s contributions include:
*Developing the "Frank-Starling Law of the Heart," presented in
1915 and modified in 1919.
*The Starling equation, describing fluid shifts in the body (1896)
*The discovery of secretin, the first hormone, with Bayliss (1902)
and the introduction of the concept of hormones (1905).
