Bernard Siegried Albinus

Bernard Siegried Albinus was born on 1697 and died on 1770. He was born in Frankfurt, son of Bernard Albinus, a physician. Albinus was an anatomist that was born in France. He was a German anatomist who was the first to show the connection of the vascular systems of the mother and the fetus. He studied in Leiden, a popular university, to teach surgery and anatomy. His studies lead him to become a huge success. He has a study for anatomy and botany at the most. In 1745, Albinus became a professor of the practice of medicine that leads him to his studies. His love for botany was just incredible. After a year's absence, on the recommendation of Boerhaave, remembered in 1719 to Leiden to be a lecturer on anatomy and surgery. Two years later, he was a better professor than his father. He became one of the most popular anatomists in Europe. Albinus is perhaps best known for his monumental Tabulae sceleti et musculorum corporis humani, which was first published in Leiden in 1747, largely at his own expense. The artist and engraver with whom Albinus did nearly all of his work was Jan Wandelaar. From 1721 until his death, Albinus studied anatomy, surgery, and medicine at the University of Leiden. He remained in Leiden until his death in 1770. Don't get him confused with Cloudis Albinus; a different story. The following pictures and video shows the plants and bodies that Albinus had to study. Tabulae was highly criticized by such scholars as Petrus Camper, especially for the whimsical backgrounds added to many of the pieces by Wandelaar, but Albinus bravely defended Wandelaar.

Botany is the study of plants and describes the plant life of the region, habitat, or geological period. Botany, the study of plants, began with efforts to identify edible, medicinal and poisonous plants, making botany one of the oldest sciences. From this ancient interest in plants, the popularity of botany has increased to include the study of over 550,000 kinds or species of living organisms. The plants make oxygen, food, fibers, fuel, and medicines to help humans survive longer. A good understanding of plants is a very important to the living earth and us humans as it leads us to:

Produce food to feed an expanding population
Understand fundamental life processes
Produce medicine and materials to treat diseases and other ailments
Understand environmental changes more clearly

Anatomy is the branch of science with the body structure of humans, animals, and other organisms. Human anatomy, is a basic medical science is primarily the scientific study of the morphology of the adult human body. Gross anatomy (also called topographical anatomy or regional anatomy) is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by bad vision. The history of anatomy has been characterized, over a long period of time, by a continually developing understanding of the functions of organs and structures in the body. Methods have also increased quickly, advancing from examination of organisms through killing of preserved cadavers (dead human bodies) to complex ways developed in the 20th century. Human anatomy can be taught regionally or systemically. Academic human anatomists are usually hired by universities, medical schools or teaching hospitals. They are often teaching anatomy, and research into certain systems, organs, tissues or cells. Anatomy is divided into two types, gross anatomy and microscopic anatomy. Gross anatomy is the study of anatomical structures that can be seen by bad vision. Microscopic anatomy is the study of minute anatomical structures assisted with microscopes and cytology. Cytology is the study of cells. Also, the skeletal system is involved in anatomy. The skeleton is an inner framework made of bone and cartilage. Bones are the hard material of a skeleton. The skeleton supports and protects the softer body parts of a fish, bird, or human. These animals are called vertebrates. They all have a backbone.
