William Maddock Bayliss Books

Sir William Maddock Bayliss was an English physiologist whose research significantly advanced our understanding of peptide hormones, notably the discovery of secretin, and intestinal peristalsis. His work, often in collaboration with Ernest Henry Starling, laid foundational knowledge for comprehending complex physiological processes. Bayliss's legacy endures not only in the physiological effect named in his honor but also in the ongoing scientific inquiry into peptide function, inspiring current and future generations of researchers.
