3. Alessandro Benedetti

Contribution
Father of physiology, to prove that
the so-called salivary duct, claimed
as a recent discovery by Georg
Daniel Coschwitz (16791729), was
nothing more than a blood-vessel.
was the first woman to be recorded
in historical documents as practicing
anatomy (which today would be
called pathology)
He describes a postmortem
examination of a woman who had
died of syphilis and the diseases
effects on her bones.

4. Aureliano Maestre de San

Juan

He established schools of practice in the last

quarter of the 19th century. The first was
associated largely with university laboratories
and was the result of Maestre de San Juan's
interest in the pure study of morphology and
histology, in keeping with his training as an
anatomist.

5. Bernhard Siegfried Albinus

Albinus devised a new technique of placing

nets with square webbing at specified
intervals between the artist and the
anatomical specimen and copying the
images using the grid patterns.
He is credited with the discovery of
the loop of Henle in the kidney. His
essay "On Miasma and Contagia"
was an early argument for the germ
theory of disease. He was an
important figure in the development
of modern medicine.
In particular, he studied the adrenal
gland, conducting pioneering work
in histochemistry. Bourne was
director of Yerkes Regional Primate
Research Center from 1962 until his
death.
was an Italian anatomist, celebrated
as the father of modern anatomical
pathology.
a proponent of the hyperdiffusionist
view of prehistory.
He is known for his work with
neuropsychiatrist Eduard Hitzig
(18391907) involving the electrical
localization of the motor areas of
the brain. In 1870, the two scientists
probed the cerebral cortex of a dog
to discover that electrical
stimulation of different areas of the
cerebrum caused involuntary
muscular contractions of specific
parts of the dog's body.
He became the first occupant of the

is an American neuroanatomist,
author, and public speaker. Her
training is in the postmortem
investigation of the human brain as
it relates to schizophrenia and the
severe mental illnesses.
Sheldon spent time in studying the
lymphatic system.
Known for his work in the fields of
descriptive anatomy and histology,
he eventually became associated
with studies involving evolutionary
theory, developmental history and
anthropology.
He intended to publish his groundbreaking work in a treatise on
anatomy, and had he done so his
discoveries would have transformed
European knowledge of the subject.
But on Leonardos death in 1519 the
drawings remained a mass of
undigested material among his
private papers and their significance
was effectively lost to the world for
almost 400 years
He contributed alaot in the field of
Neuroanatomy-neuropathology:
Single cord brachial plexus was
recorded for the first time from India
(second report in the world
literature) by Hasan. Ultrastructural
classification of synapses in the
lateral geniculate body of the
monkey was for the first time
carried out by Hasan in
collaboration with Paul Glees and
Klaus Tischner (Goettingen).
Who has published research into the
neuroanatomy of the forebrain, notably the
discovery of the impact of the environment
on brain development, the differences
between the cerebral cortex of male and
female rats, and the likely link between
positive thinking and immune health.
Steno discovered a previously
undescribed structure, the "ductus
stenonianus" (the duct of the
parotid salivary gland) in sheep, dog
and rabbit heads. A dispute with
Blasius over credit for the discovery
arose, but Steno's name remained
associated with this structure known
today as the Stensen's duct. In
Leiden, Steno studied the boiled
heart of a cow, and determined that
it was an ordinary muscle and not
the center of warmth as Galenus
and Descartes believed.

1st Baronet
20.William Cumberland
Cruikshank

He took a special interest in surgery of the

spino-cerebral cavity
was a British chemist and anatomist. He
was the author of The Anatomy of the
Absorbing Vessels of the Human Body,
which was first published in 1786
