Ernest Henry Starling CMG FRCP FRS (17 April 1866 – 2 May 1927) was a British physiologist who contributed many fundamental ideas to this subject. These ideas were important parts of the British contribution to physiology, which at that time led the world.
Ernest Henry Starling was a British physiologist whose prolific contributions to a modern understanding of body functions, especially the maintenance of a fluid balance throughout the tissues, the regulatory role of endocrine secretions, and mechanical controls on heart function, made him one of.

Oct 8, 2013 · The English physiologist, Ernest Henry Starling (1866–1927) in 1896, provided a quantitative explanation of the transcapillary transport of fluid. Six years later, he discovered the first hormone and introduced the concept of hormones in 1905, and at the time of the First World War, he formulated the fundamental law on the mechanical effect ...

Michael Foster had moved to Cambridge in 1870, and when Sir Edward Sharpey-Schafer secured the Edinburgh Chair of Physiology in 1899 Starling replaced him at UCL.5Starling was a pioneer of endocrinology but his name is associated with a plenitude of other major discoveries—each a fundamental advance. He had in 1894 investigated lymph secretion and ...
As Jodrell professor of physiology at UCL, Starling the impatient, and sometimes impulsive visionary began a successful collaboration with his brother-in-law, the physiologist William Bayliss, a more cautious partner. Physicians in the mid-nineteenth century knew of ductless glands which fed into blood vessels (blutdrüsen; blood-glands), but this w...
Neither hormones nor glandular secretion had been defined before Starling. His work rested on earlier studies, which had hinted that certain organs yielded factors circulated by the blood that affected the workings of distant vital structures. We can see an inkling of hormonal mechanisms in the work of Thomas Wharton (1614-73), physician to St. Tho...

Apr 1, 2001 · In 1902 Bayliss and Starling discovered secretin, a chemical messenger secreted by the intestinal mucosa. In 1905 Starling proposed the name "hormone" for this class of internal secretions.
