in anatomy, a part of the human body, serving for respiration. See ANATOMY, n° 117.

In the Journal de Médecine for June 1789 is a description of an Instrument for Inflating the Lungs, invented by M. Gorey physician to the military hospital at Neufbrifack, which appears to be extremely well adapted to the purpose, whilst it may be used with the greatest ease and facility.

This instrument, which the inventor styles apopoe, that is, "restorer of respiration," consists of a double pair of bellows, BCLM, fig. 1, the two different parts of which have no communication with each other. In CCLXXVII, the lower side BM, is an aperture A for a valve constructed on the principles of those of Mr Nairne's air-pump. It consists of a rim of copper, closed at one end by a plate of the same metal, in which plate are seven small holes placed at equal distances. This plate LUNULA. See Lune.
