Giulio Cesare Aranzio

Giulio Cesare Aranzi (o) , latinized Julius Caesar Arantius (* 1530 in Bologna , † April 7, 1589 ibid), was an Italian anatomist . Aranzi was professor of anatomy and surgery in Bologna.

Life

Aranzio was the nephew and student of the surgeon Bartolomeo Maggi and studied medicine in Padua and Bologna. In 1556 he received his doctorate in Bologna. Shortly afterwards he became professor of medicine and surgery in Bologna, and later also of anatomy.

In the fetus he discovered the Botalli duct ( Ductus arteriosus Botalli ) Botallo, already described by Galenus and named after Leonardo Botallo. Aranzio was the first to describe the eyelid lifter muscle and the semilunar valves with the Noduli Arantii (Noduli valvarum semilunarium) . The ductus venosus ( Aranzio duct , Ductus venosus Arantii ), which is mentioned for the first time in Vesal's work , was named after him. In 1564 Giulio Cesare Aranzio was the first to use the term hippocampus for the brain structure that he also described for the first time. He dealt with the Ammon's horns of the hippocampus and coined the term "Aquaeductus cerebri."
