Life
Friedrich Christian Rosenthal was born as the fifth child of a Greifswald merchant. In November 1797 he began studying medicine at the University of Greifswald . One of his teachers was the anatomist Karl Asmund Rudolphi , with whom Rosenthal remained friendly throughout his life and who had a great influence on his later work. In 1801 Rosenthal moved to the University of Jena , where he received his doctorate in 1802 with the font De organo olfactus quorundam animalium .
This was followed by stays at the University of Würzburg and the Vienna General Hospital . Rosenthal returned to Greifswald in 1804 and established himself as a doctor. His habilitation took place in 1807, from then on he worked as a private lecturer at the university.
In 1810, at the instigation of Johann Christian Reil , Rosenthal went to the newly founded Berlin University , where he worked as a prosector from 1812 . In 1813 Rosenthal was involved in the Wars of Liberation as a field doctor . He then returned to Berlin, took over the prosecution again and was appointed extraordinary professor of anatomy in 1815. In the winter of 1818/1819 he held lectures at the University of Breslau on behalf of Adolph Wilhelm Otto . Rosenthal returned to Greifswald in 1819 and worked there from 1820 as professor of anatomy and physiology and director of the Zoological Museum.
In 1822 he was elected a member of the Leopoldina .
On December 5th, 1829 Friedrich Christian Rosenthal died of tuberculosis . His successor was Johann Friedrich Laurer .
Act
During his time in Greifswald, Rosenthal devoted himself, among other things, to researching the sensory organs of seals , the anatomy of jellyfish and comparative anatomy of whales. Due to his untimely death, some of his writings remained unfinished. The comparative anatomical part of the collection of the Greifswald Anatomical Institute was expanded under his aegis.
In 1817 Rosenthal published one of the first German-language textbooks on surgical anatomy.
In 1823 Rosenthal described the spiralis modiolus canal of the cochlea , which was later also referred to as the Rosenthal canal . The vena basalis , which he described in 1824 as the vena ascendens sive basilaris , is a vein that runs around the brain stem and opens into the vena magna cerebri . It is known as the Rosenthal vein .
