  • The Making of Mr. Gray's Anatomy
    The making of Mr. Gray’s anatomy: Bodies, books, fortune, fame John T. Hansen J Clin Invest. 2009;119(5):1056-1056. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI39002. Book Review The making of Mr. Gray’s anatomy chronicles the fascinating story of one of the most widely known medical textbooks in the world as told through the work of two young men: Henry Gray, anatomist, surgeon, and author, and Henry Vandyke Carter, apothecary-surgeon, physician, and illustrator. Historian Ruth Richardson, of the Department of History at the University of Hertfordshire and the Department of History and Philosophy of Science at the University of Cambridge, weaves a wonderful tale of dissection, medicine, publishing, printing, illustration, marketing, and sales that culminates in the book often referred to as the “doctor’s bible.” Written to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Gray’s anatomy, Richardson immerses the reader into the Dickensian back streets of mid-Victorian London to reveal the chance encounter of two very different men of medicine whose unlikely collaboration launched a masterpiece. In 1842, Henry Gray, a young man of modest educational background, entered St. George’s Hospital at the age of 15 to begin his medical studies as a surgeon and emerged 10 years later known for several important scholarly works and for his election into membership as a Fellow of the Royal Society at the age of 25. Henry Gray was a handsome man of medium height, a bit of a “dandy,” and known as hardworking, focused, clever, status hungry, and professionally ambitious. Unfortunately, Gray […] Find the latest version: https://jci.me/39002/pdf Book review The making of Mr.

Anatomy of the Human Body. 1918. http://www.bartleby.com/107/illus960.html Voice Production The larynx consists of four basic anatomic components: a cartilaginous skeleton, intrinsic and extrinsic muscles, and a mucosal lining (Figures 1 and 2). The cartilaginous skeleton, which houses the vocal cords (the thyroarytenoid muscles), is composed of the thyroid, cricoid and arytenoid cartilages. These cartilages are connected with other structures of the head and neck through the extrinsic muscles. The intrinsic muscles of the larynx alter the position, shape and tension of the vocal cords. An important consideration, therefore, is the innervation of these muscles and the characteristic features of lesions of these nerves. FIGURE 1. Midsagittal section through the neck, showing basic laryngeal anatomy. FIGURE 2. Laryngeal anatomy, showing major muscles and cartilages. (A) Posterior view of larynx, and (B) cross section of larynx from above. The vagus nerve innervates the larynx through its branches, the superior laryngeal nerve and the recurrent laryngeal nerve. The superior laryngeal nerve supplies sensation to the epiglottis and false vocal cords, as well as motor function to the cricothyroid muscle (which serves to tense the vocal cord).

  • The Rich Heritage of Anatomical Texts During Renaissance and Thereafter: a Lead up to Henry Gray's Masterpiece
    Review Article https://doi.org/10.5115/acb.19.102 pISSN 2093-3665 eISSN 2093-3673 The rich heritage of anatomical texts during Renaissance and thereafter: a lead up to Henry Gray’s masterpiece Sanjib Kumar Ghosh, Ashutosh Kumar Department of Anatomy, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Patna, India Abstract: The practice of modern human anatomy was started by Vesalius in sixteenth century Europe during the Renaissance. His exploits are documented in his legendary anatomical text De humani corporis fabrica. Remarkable success of De humani encouraged noted anatomists to publish their own texts over the years. Such a cascading effect started an ongoing process of refining the text based presentation of anatomical details that eventually led to the emanation of Gray’s Anatomy, the masterpiece from Henry Gray. In this review article we have tried to revisit the journey from De humani to Gray’s Anatomy and have also highlighted on other anatomical texts that form important landmarks in this journey. The article attempts to focus on the rectification of Galenic errors, description of new discoveries in human anatomy, introduction of the concept of clinical anatomy, emergence of surgical anatomy and the advent of sectional anatomy. The article also put emphasis on the efforts to make anatomical illustrations used in texts more scientific and in tune with the printed matter. We noted with interest that luminary anatomists over the years have contributed in their own individual manner towards the development of text based anatomy and from cumulative perspective their visionary efforts have shaped the outlook of anatomical texts in present times.
