Literary notes about Permeable (AI summary)

In classical literature, the term “permeable” was used with significant anatomical and physiological implications. For example, in “Galen: On the Natural Faculties,” Galen described the interventricular septum of the heart as permeable, suggesting that it allowed the passage of substances rather than serving as a complete barrier [1]. This usage reflects an early understanding of bodily functions, implying that even structures once thought to be solid might permit subtle flows essential to life.
  1. Pg xxiii in saying that the interventricular septum of the heart was permeable ( cf. present volume, p. 321 ).
    — from Galen: On the Natural Faculties by Galen
