Abstract
Physiological time is a succession of irreversible changes of the system cells-medium; it can be measured by the rate of these changes and expressed in special units. The fundamental constituents of duration are structural and physiological processes bound to a certain type of organization, and specific of each species, and of the age of each individual. Physical time is referred to physiological duration. Physical time loses its constant value. It extends during infancy and contracts during old age. Young and old people, although spatially united, live in separate universes when the value of physical time profoundly differs. A knowledge of physiological time is indispensable to a real understanding of the constitution of the body, which is composed not only of organs, bones, lymph and blood, but also of duration.
