Digitalis purpurea pharmacological forms, extracts of this plant did not frequently cause intoxication because they induced nausea and vomiting within minutes of ingestion, preventing the patient from consuming more. The main toxins in "Digitalis" spp. are the two chemically similar cardiac glycosides: digitoxin and digoxin. Like other cardiac glycosides, these toxins exert their effects by inhibiting the ATPase activity of a complex of transmembrane proteins that form the sodium potassium ATPase pump, (Na/K-ATPase). Inhibition of the Na/K-ATPase in turn causes a rise not only in intracellular Na, but also in calcium, which in turn results in increased force of myocardial muscle contractions.
Where Mathematics Comes From Where Mathematics Comes From Where Mathematics Comes From: How the Embodied Mind Brings Mathematics into Being (hereinafter "WMCF") is a book by George Lakoff, a cognitive linguist, and Rafael E. Núñez, a psychologist. Published in 2000, "WMCF" seeks to found a cognitive science of mathematics, a theory of embodied mathematics based on conceptual metaphor. Mathematics makes up that part of the human conceptual system that is special in the following way: Nikolay Lobachevsky said "There is no branch of mathematics, however abstract, which may not some day be applied to phenomena of the real world." A common type of conceptual
