Chapter VI

The process of genesis (embryogeny) from insemination

onwards. Each of the simple, elementary, homogeneous

parts (tissues) is produced by a special blend of the

four primary alterative faculties (such secondary

alterative faculties being _ostopoietic_,

_neuropoietic_, etc.). A special _function_ and _use_

also corresponds to each of these special tissues. The

bringing of these tissues together into _organs_ and the

disposal of these organs is performed by another faculty

called _diaplastic_, _moulding_, or _formative_.
