Filling a gap in modern medical curriculum, this detailed guide exposes those interested in medicine and its history to the great anatomists and physicians who discovered various human anatomy structures. A unique introduction to eponyms, this record pairs an image of the individual who uncovered each structure with illuminating text across numerous branches of medicine, including the skeletal, muscular, nervous, respiratory, digestive, and cardiovascular systems. Dynamic and informative, this account argues that eliminating all eponyms from the anatomical nomenclature deprives both students and teachers of the incentive to learn medical history.
