Both these aspects interlace in one Life-process; the unity is present in the manifold, and the ultimate present in the intimate.

These microscopic structures are not the efficient causes of the life-process, but products of it.

In these cases physical science is often able to reduce the life-process to the laws of inorganic nature.

Contemplation of the circulation, indeed, led Harvey into contemplation of widely diverse problems of the life process.

But continuity of the life process is not dependent upon the prolongation of the existence of any one individual.
