Sažetak
Aim The aim of this abstract is to evaluate the importance of comparative anatomy in the development of modern anatomy during late 19th and early 20th centuries, as observed in the work of Emanuel Edward Klein (Osijek, 1844 - Hove, 1925). His anatomical researches in the fields of general, comparative and pathological anatomy were coducted between 1868 and 1880, and were based on dead body section, laboratory animal vivisection and their combination, which has resulted in the eleven studies. Despite this, his work was never properly studied. Methods Our investigation is based on the work in archives (State Archive Osijek ; Archive of Saint Bartholomew's Hospital), and libraries (Oxford Bodleian Library ; Cambridge University Library), precisely on collection of primary sources and their analysis in broader context of secondary sources. Results Klein's researches dealt with esophagus muscles, oral muscles, corneal nerves, peripheral nerves endings and distribution, Auerbach's plexus, Jacobson's organ, lymphatic system, and serosal membranes. They could be divided into the Viennese period prior to 1871, and the London period after it. His researches were conducted on toads, frogs, rats, cats, dogs, rabbits, and guineapigs. His most important discovery was the descripton of musculus rectus labii proprius, which is still named after him. His most inluental book was The Anatomy of the Lymphatic System, which was the first book on the mentioned topic. Conclusion Comparative anatomy as a new scientific discipline, developed together with experimental physiology, played a crucial role in the Klein's work and enabled him to make his significant discoveries.
