The Evolution of Physiology in the 19th Century: Key Discoveries and Figures

This article explores the significant advancements in physiology during the 19th century, highlighting the contributions of prominent scientists such as Schwann, Schleiden, and Virchow. It discusses the development of cell theory, the discovery of essential enzymes like pepsin, and the establishment of foundational principles like "cells can only arise from pre-existing cells." Additionally, the impact of nutrition and environmental factors on physiological development and the establishment of professional societies such as the American Physiological Society are examined.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Physiology in the 19th Century By: Rachel Klein, Anavi Sharma, and Andrew Myers

  2. Schwann • Assisted Johnnes Muller in many physiological experiments • The Cell Theory -Microscopically Researches into the Accordance in the Structure and Growth of Animals and Plants (1839). • Discovered the digestive enzyme pepsin

  3. Schleiden • Studied botany and medicine • Co-founder of cell theory in animals • First to recognize the importance of cells as fundamental units of life

  4. Virchow • Leukemia is its own disease and not a byproduct of the effected blood • Published his journal article on cellular pathology • Cells can only arise from pre-existing cells

  5. Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig • Modern renal physiology • Invented devices used to examine blood • Filtering role of kidney • Founder of the physicochemical school of physiology

  6. Henry Pickering Bowditch • (Carl Ludwig’s student) • In 1887 he co-founded the American Physiological Society • Found that nutrition and environmental factors contribute to physiological development

  7. Zeiss • Carl Zeiss, Inc. • Manufacturers of optical microscopes and related equipment • Stand 1 • First compound microscope
