plant, and perfected indeed more individually than in the 

 latter. The main distinction is, however, this ; that these 

 processes have preceded in the plant, and the sexual 

 system grown out of them ; in the animal, on the other 

 hand, the sexual system is the foundation, the root, out of 

 which these processes grow forth. The first and simplest 

 animal vesicle is a sexual bladder, a matrix or womb. 



SENSITIVE ANIMAL. 



1794. The animal is a twofold representation of the 

 organization, being at one time the planetary, and at one 

 time the solar. There is a planetary animal and a solar 

 animal in the higher organism. The planetary animal is 

 the plant in the animal, the galvanic animal ; the solar 

 animal is the sentient, the light- or aether-animal. 



1795. The highest completion of the vegetable ani- 

 mal is in the blossom. There is thus a sexual or Sex's 

 animal and a sensitive or Sensations animal. 



1796. The completed animal consists of two animals, 

 because it is at once planet and sun, plant and animaL 



1797. The vegetable and the sensitive animal have 

 been formed parallel to each other, yet in such a man- 

 ner that the former being the lowest, contains only the 

 dispositions unto the highest. There are consequently 

 vegetative and animal organs, which take a parallel range. 

 The animal grows upon a vegetable body. It may be 

 aptly said, that the root of the plant becomes the mouth 

 or head of the animal, the stem the trunk or visceral 

 body, the blossom the sexual parts. The three parts 

 therefore of the animal body, and the antagonism there- 

 fore of the head with the sexual parts, unite through the 

 medium of the vegetable stem, or the visceral body. 



ANIMAL ANATOMY. 



1798. The parts of the animal body divide, as in the 

 plant, into tissues, anatomical systems, and into organs 

 proper or members. The tissues are the constituent 

 parts of the systems, these of the organs, and all collec- 

 tively, or associated, of the body.
