2. Muscular Organs.
2398. The muscles are everywhere attached to the bones, and help to form with them the same set of organs.
2399. The muscles of the larynx are therefore the antetypes of the costal muscles, these of the member-muscles, and the dorsal muscles of the scapular and pelvic muscles.
2400. The muscles of the limbs are found in a state of treble repetition. That the muscles of the arm and leg are of one kind, admits of being demonstrated with tolerable facility. But it is necessary, that in doing this regard be paid to the ligaments.
2401. The ligaments are only stunted muscles. Without bringing them into account, the muscular system does not admit of being explained and understood.
2402. The crural muscles are again found in the lower jaw.
2403. The brachial muscles, on the upper jaw or face.
2404. The movements of the facial muscles correspond to those of the limb-muscles. Upon this depends the interpretation of dumb-show, or the art of physiognomy.
3. Nervous Organs.
2405. Nervous organs are liberations of individual parts of the nervous system, and their endowment with a peculiar function or sensation.
