The particles that he saw under his microscope were motile and, assuming that motility equates to life. This event shows that aprticles create the life inside making our whole body. -
that maggots and other living creatures developed in decaying tissues. In the same period, oval red-blood corpuscles were described by the Dutch naturalist Jan Swammerdam who also discovered that a frog embryo, consists of globular particles. -
The first description of the cell is generally attributed to Robert Hooke, an English physicist who was also a distinguished microscopist. Hooke published Micrographic, the first important work devoted to microscopical observation, and showed what the microscope could mean for naturalists. -
This letter showed when the information or proof that particles are living organisms. This event shows a big step in cell history. -
A continuity between living and non-living matter, natural non facit saltus, was disproved. -
was the first to recognize the nucleus
as an essential constituent of living cells. This event shows that the nucleus is apart of cells. -
Contains beautiful descriptions and drawings of nerve cells studied by using histological methods and microdissections made with thin needles under the microscope. This event showed evidence of nerve cells. -
expanded Kölliker’s view and proposed that, in all of the central nervous system, nerve cells established anastomoses with each other through a network formed by the minute branching of
their dendrites. This showed that there is more to the nerve system. -
Introduced the term ‘‘neurons’’ to indicate independent nerve cells25,26. -
. The term ‘‘ergastoplasm’’ was introduced; mitochondria were observed by several authors and named by Carl Benda, the same year in which discovered the intracellular apparatus that bears his name.
