Synopsis

This book delves into the structure of animals through a series of experiments performed by the author. Through these experiments, the author discovered that the density of the great artery in a dog's body varied greatly depending on the age of the dog. The author also discovered differences in the density of different portions of the same artery, observing for example that the convex part of the aorta in a young ram was 1794 times stronger than the narrower part of the same aorta. The book concludes that these varying densities serve an important function, as they provide strength where necessary and allow for proper blood flow and organ function.
