Sir William Maddock Bayliss was a renowned English physiologist who made significant contributions to the field of physiology. He conducted groundbreaking research on the functions of the digestive system, including the discovery of secretin, a hormone that regulates pancreatic secretions. Bayliss also pioneered the study of smooth muscle physiology and introduced the concept of peristalsis. Together with his wife, he developed the Bayliss-Starling reflex, a fundamental concept in physiology. His work revolutionized our understanding of how the body functions and set the stage for future research in the field.
