Bichat

It was also applied in many ways by Bichat, who enjoyed a brief, though memorable, career.

Francois Bichat, born in 1771, earned high rank both as a clinician and an anatomist.

Bichat was not a comparative anatomist; his interest lay in human anatomy, normal and pathological.

Bichat supposes the black matter in the lungs "to be owing to small bronchial glands extending along the surface of the pleura."

A book lay open for a Bichat if he had repaired thither fasting and collected.
