Excerpt from Exercitatio Anatomica De Motu Cordis Et Sanguinis in Animalibus

If the pulsations of the arteries cool and purify the various portions of the body as the lungs do the heart, how, as is commonly said, do the arteries carry from the heart to the separate parts the Vital blood stqed with vital spirits, which keep up the heat of these parts, nourish them in sleep, and re store them in exhaustion? How, if the arteries be tied off, do the parts at once become not only torpid, cold, and pale, but even cease to be nourished, unless it be as Galen says that they have been de prived of that heat which flowed through them from the heart? So it would seem that the arteries carry heat to the parts instead of cooling them.
