Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This 1853 book is an early and detailed anatomical description of a single species of the largest existing representative of the Anourous, or tailless frog group - the American Bullfrog. The author, Jeffries Wyman, was considered one of the foremost anatomists and physiologists in America. Primarily a course of lectures, the book later expanded to include descriptions of the nervous system - the brain and spinal cord in particular - and 9 detailed plates of diagrams and illustrations. With a particular focus on the cranial nerves, the author provides readers with a transparent view of the general plan and comparative anatomy of the frog nervous system, complete with a philosophical analysis of its broader implications. The work is significant for its contribution to our understanding of vertebrate nervous system evolution, and its detailed account of the Bullfrog's nervous system anatomy.
