In his Lessons in Comparative Anatomy, Georges Cuvier compares the anatomical organization of humans and the various animal classes in order to understand the functions of the organs and the relationships between the different body structures.
Volume I presents the general principles of comparative anatomy, then studies the organs of movement in humans and the different animal classes. Cuvier examines the structure and functions of muscles, bones, joints and tendons, before describing the skeleton and the muscles of the trunk, and the fore and hind limbs.
The volume is well complete with the 7 folding plates.
Volume V is devoted to the organs of generation and to the glands and secretory and excretory organs. Cuvier describes the male and female reproductive organs, the structures involved in mating, and the differences observed between humans, mammals and the other animal groups.
