The life of Jacob Henle

Dublin Core

Description

Jacob Henle (1809-1885) gave a detailed and complete description of the temporal bone and was the first to describe the suprameatal spine, though he did not show the structure as a landmark to the antrum. Henle's name was attached to it later by mastoid surgeons, who called it the "Spine of Henle."

As an anatomist, Henle is credited as the creator of anatomical histology and is the equivalent to histology as Vesalius is to gross anatomy.
