This work delves into the intricate details of biological organisms at both molecular and microscopic levels, focusing on the structure and function of animal organisms. The book aims to enhance understanding of the physical and chemical underpinnings of life, illustrating the relationship between various components of organisms. At the start of the volume, the author introduces the concept of animal life as a manifestation of divine power, separate from moral and spiritual considerations. Somerville discusses the essential elements that form the basis of all animal life, touching on the composition of tissues and the importance of protoplasm. She highlights the complexity of animal functions, delving into specific structures such as muscles and nerves, along with their physiological roles and relationships in sustaining life. The opening section sets a scientific tone, inviting readers into a detailed examination of lifeforms ranging from the simplest organisms to more complex entities like humans, while establishing the framework of inquiry rooted in physical science.
