  • Matthias Jacob Schleiden (1804–1881) [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Matthias Jacob Schleiden (1804–1881) [1] By: Parker, Sara Keywords: cells [2] Matthias Jacob Schleiden helped develop the cell theory in Germany during the nineteenth century. Schleiden studied cells as the common element among all plants and animals. Schleiden contributed to the field of embryology [3] through his introduction of the Zeiss [4] microscope [5] lens and via his work with cells and cell theory as an organizing principle of biology. Schleiden was born in Hamburg, Germany, on 5 April 1804. His father was the municipal physician of Hamburg. Schleiden pursued legal studies at the University of Heidelberg [6] in Heidelberg, Germany, and he graduated in 1827. He established a legal practice in Hamburg, but after a period of emotional depression and an attempted suicide, he changed professions. He studied natural science at the University of Göttingen in Göttingen, Germany, but transferred to the University of Berlin [7] in Berlin, Germany, in 1835 to study plants. Johann Horkel, Schleiden's uncle, encouraged him to study plant embryology [3]. In Berlin, Schleiden worked in the laboratory of zoologistJ ohannes Müller [8], where he met Theodor Schwann. Both Schleiden and Schwann studied cell theory and phytogenesis, the origin and developmental history of plants. They aimed to find a unit of organisms common to the animal and plant kingdoms. They began a collaboration, and later scientists often called Schleiden and Schwann the founders of cell theory. In 1838, Schleiden published "Beiträge zur Phytogenesis" (Contributions to Our Knowledge of Phytogenesis). The article outlined his theories of the roles cells played as plants developed.

G. and Oke, B. O. Department of Veterinary Anatomy, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, University of Ibadan, Ibadan, Nigeria. * Author for Correspondence: [email protected]; +2348033574752 Abstract The African sideneck turtle (Pelusios castaneus) is a freshwater turtle of West African origin used in traditional medicine with little consumption as meat. There have been documentations on the reproductive biology of the turtle with no report on the structure of the Leydig cell of the animal. We described the structure of the Leydig cell of the adult African sideneck turtle using histology, microstereology and transmission electron microscopy. The Leydig cell of the African sideneck turtle were elliptical in shape when found proximal to blood vessels and elongated at other points within the testicular interstitium. Leydig cells occurred in cords or clusters of varying sizes and numbers (3-5 cells) that appear to be random in distribution possessing round to ovoid nuclei containing small amount of peripherally disposed heterochromatin with prominent nucleoli. The seminiferous tubules of the turtle occupied about 85% of the total testicular parenchyma while the interstitium occupied 15% of it. Of this 15%, the Leydig cell occupied about 10% while the stromal elements, inclusive of blood vessels occupied the remaining 5%.

  • Catholic Christian Christian
    Religious Scientists (From the Vatican Observatory Website) https://www.vofoundation.org/faith-and-science/religious-scientists/ Many scientists are religious people—men and women of faith—believers in God. This section features some of the religious scientists who appear in different entries on these Faith and Science pages. Some of these scientists are well-known, others less so. Many are Catholic, many are not. Most are Christian, but some are not. Some of these scientists of faith have lived saintly lives. Many scientists who are faith-full tend to describe science as an effort to understand the works of God and thus to grow closer to God. Quite a few describe their work in science almost as a duty they have to seek to improve the lives of their fellow human beings through greater understanding of the world around them. But the people featured here are featured because they are scientists, not because they are saints (even when they are, in fact, saints). Scientists tend to be creative, independent-minded and confident of their ideas.

  • Birdobserver17.4 Page183-188 an Honor Without Profit Richard K
    AN HONOR WITHOUT PROFIT by Richard K. Walton eponymy n The derivation of a name of a city, country, era, institution, or other place or thing from the name of a person. Gruson in his Words for Birds gives seven categories for the origins of common bird names: appearance (Black-capped Chickadee), eponymy (Henslow’s Sparrow), echoics (Whooping Crane), habitat (Marsh Wren), behavior (woodpecker), food (oystercatcher), and region (California Condor). The second category comprises people and places memorialized in bird names. Many of our most famous ornithologists as well as a fair number of obscure friends and relations have been so honored. A majority of these names were given during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, the pioneering era of North American ornithology. While some of these tributes are kept alive in our everyday birding language, others have slipped into oblivion. Recognition or obscurity may ultimately hinge on the names we use for birds. There is no more famous name in the birding culture than that of John James Audubon. His epic The Birds of America was responsible for putting American science, art, and even literature on the international map. This work was created, produced, promoted, and sold largely by Audubon himself. In the years since his death in 1851, the Audubon legend has been the inspiration for a multitude of ornithological pursuits and causes, both professional and amateur. Audubon painted some five hundred birds in Birds of America and described these in his five-volume Ornithological Biographies. Many of the names given by Audubon honored men and women of his era.

  • (Evolution) Prior to Darwin's Origin of Species
    Theories of Species Change (Evolution) Prior to Darwin’s Origin of Species Theories of Species Change Prior to Darwin Entangled with: 1. Theories of geological change. 2. Theories of heredity. 3. And theories of ontogenesis, that is, of individual development– embryology. Notions of Species in the Classical Period of Greece Plato: the essence or form of an organism is eternal and unchanging; embodiment only the appearance of that form. Aristotle: the essence or form of an organism is incorporated in the physical body; the only kind of eternity enjoyed is through continued reproduction. Theories of Species Change in the Early Modern Period Descartes: gradual evolution of physical system according to fix laws (Discourse on Method, 1628). Buffon (1707-88) and Linnaeus (1707-78): God created a limited number of species, but through hybridization and impact of environment, new species appear. Kant: evolutionary development from earth possible only if earth already construed as purposive; species change possible but no evidence (Critique of Judgment, 1790). Transformation of one species into another through change of scaling, from D’Arcy Thompson, On Growth and Form (1942).

Material and Methods: This study retrospectively evaluated 14 patients who had been operated on for acute abdo- men and had been diagnosed with Meckel’s diverticulitis (MD) in Ege University Medical Faculty Department of General Surgery, between October 2007 and October 2012. Results: Fourteen patients with a diagnosis of Meckel’s diverticulitis (MD) were retrospectively analyzed. Radiologi- cally, the abdominal computer tomography showed pathologies compatible with mechanical intestinal obstruction, Meckel’s diverticulitis and peridiverticular abscess, as well as detection of free air within the abdomen on direct abdominal X-ray. Among patients diagnosed with complicated Meckel’s diverticuli (obstruction, diverticulitis, perfo- ration) 10 patients had partial small bowel resection and end-to-end anastomosis (71.5%), three patients underwent diverticulum excision (21.4%), and one patient underwent right hemicolectomy+ileotransversostomy (7.1%). Conclusion: Meckel’s diverticulum is a vestigial remnant of an omphalomesenteric channel in the small bowel. It is a real congenital diverticular abnormality that contains all three layers of the small bowel. Surgical excision should be performed if Meckel’s diverticulum is detected in order to avoid incidental complications such as ulcer- ation, bleeding, bowel obstruction, diverticulitis or perforation.

This paper sur- Organismal theory veys some of the key episodes in the history of biological atomism, and situates cell theory within this Reductionism tradition. The atomistic foundations of cell theory are subsequently dissected and discussed, together with the theory’s conceptual development and eventual consolidation. This paper then examines the major criticisms that have been waged against cell theory, and argues that these too can be interpreted through the prism of biological atomism as attempts to relocate the true biological atom away from the cell to a level of organization above or below it. Overall, biological atomism provides a useful perspective through which to examine the history and philosophy of cell theory, and it also opens up a new way of thinking about the epistemic decomposition of living organisms that significantly departs from the phys- icochemical reductionism of mechanistic biology.

  • Scientific BIOGRAPHY and the CASE of GEORGES CUVIER
    Hist. Sci.) xiv (1976), 101-137 1976HisSc..14..101O SCIENTIFic BIOGRAPHY AND THE CASE OF GEORGES CUVIER: WITH A CRITICAL BIBLIOGRAPHY Dorinda OutralU University of Reading The purpose of this introduction is to provide some interpretative tools for the reader of the body of secondary literature on Georges Cuvier which is examined in the attached critical bibliography. Criticism and analysis of existing work is therefore emphasized, and the problems in­ volved in constructing a positive biography of Cuvier are only briefly examined. Not only strictly biographical studies, but also work on all aspects of Cuvier's achievement, have been so strongly informed by pre­ suppositions about his character, that a knowledge of this bias and its characteristic expressions is nece.<;sary before previous work on Cuvier can be properly interp'reted. This bibliography is thus also intended as a necessary clearing of the ground before further study of Cuvier's career can be undertaken. This is true not only because it is necessary to discover the precise extent of factual inadequacy in our knowledge of Cuvier's life and achievement, but also because we need to increase our awareness of the role which biographical inquiry has played in the history of science, for without this awareness, the full implications of the adoption of the form cannot be assessed. Interest in Georges Cuvier has increased considerably during the last decade, but so far almost no account has been taken of the extraordinary biographical tradition through which we view him. Almost every presen­ tation of Cuvier since his death in 1832 has been dominated by emphases which were established very soon afterwards, and which have continued to monopolize the attention of historians of the life-sciences until very recently.
