(1) It seems that there is no contradiction: the anatomist is interested in the direction of the muscle's pull (down and out, and some torsion).(2) The first anatomical description of these variations was by the Dutch anatomist Anton Albinus in 1753.(3) Stressing what the naked eye could see helped him lay the foundations of pathological anatomy, following the initiatives of the preeminent anatomist , Giovanni Morgagni.(4) This volume, a specialized collection of essays on the impact of Marcello Malpighi, the seventeenth-century anatomist and physician, grew out of a conference held at Cambridge in 1994.(5) Many of the slides that were photographed have been handed down through several generations of microscopic anatomists .(6) This is the result of a tremendous amount of work done by highly skilled mathematicians, computer engineers, programmers, anatomists and medical illustrators.(7) It doesn't have a name, which is a strange thing for an anatomical feature because anatomists have named every feature of the body.(8) Galen, Vesalius, other anatomists , and the Church did not have the powerful perspective of historical data on anatomy, embryology, or genetics.(9) Top neurologists, pharmacologists, anatomists , ethicists and theologians are to examine the scientific basis of religious belief and whether it is anything more than a placebo.(10) It was, after all, the Italian anatomists and other anatomists working in Italy that originally taught us anatomy.(11) Nevertheless, some Western anatomists actively promote viewing cadavers as patients to encourage respectful treatment.(12) This was a remarkable claim since Andreas Vesalius and modern anatomists had drawn human skeletons from observation and dissection since the sixteenth century.(13) Despite deliberately straddling the boundaries of taste and decency, the exhibition claims honourable descent from the traditions of public dissection and illustration by da Vinci, Vesalius, and the great anatomists .(14) In this series, the surgeons, barbers, physicians, and artists of the past come alive in fascinating, if at times rather gory, scenes of the barbarities and other activities of anatomists seeking to further their knowledge.(15) Anatomy brought life and liberty to the art of healing, and for three centuries the great names in medicine were those of the great anatomists .(16) Specific details for the wide range of techniques developed by anatomists can be found in the cited references (Appendix V).
