Head of Interfaculty Chair of Anatomy and Histology and Department of Normal and Clinical Anatomy of Medical University of Lodz, Poland
KNOWN POLISH ANATOMISTS AND THEIR BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCHES
The rich history of anatomical sciences has been dominated by western anatomists for various reasons. In Poland the development of anatomical sciences started in the eighteenth century. In fact, the really flourishing development of anatomy took place in five Polish universities in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. However, there is a little information about most known Polish anatomists; therefore, it is the aim of this presentation to understand the careers and contributions of a select few Polish anatomists as we know of them today including one Polish female anatomist.
