Synopsis

Human Osteogeny Explained In Two Lectures, Read In The Anatomical Theatre Of The Surgeons Of London, July The First And Second, Anno 1731: In Which Not Only The Beginning And Gradual Increase Of The Bones Of Human Foetuses Are Described, But Also The Nature Of Ossification Is Considered, And The book presents two lectures by Robert Nesbitt, M.D., offering a careful examination of fetal bone formation, arguing against the notion that bones originate from cartilage and showing that bones are produced through ossifying processes, nourished by a blood-derived juice. The work describes the periosteum, perichondrium, cartilage and membranes, and the structure of foetal bones in the skull, spine, ribs, and limbs, comparing fetal development with adult anatomy. It includes plates illustrating bone formation, discusses the distribution of vessels and the sequence of ossification, and proposes methods to understand diseases such as rickets.
