Diogenes of Apollonia was a pre-Socratic philosopher who lived in the 5th century BC and provided the first systematic and fairly truthful account of blood vessel architecture in man. This article presents Diogenes' report and comments on the most significant passages of his vascular description. It also discusses the magnitude of Diogenes' contribution to shape early theories regarding blood vessel physiology. What emerges from this portrait is the figure of an eclectic spirit, who remarkably influenced the development of leading concepts in vascular anatomy and biology.
阿波洛尼亚的第欧根尼是一位生活在公元前5世纪的前苏格拉底哲学家，他首次对人体血管结构进行了系统且较为准确的描述。本文呈现了第欧根尼的报告，并对其血管描述中最重要的段落进行了评论。文章还讨论了第欧根尼对早期血管生理学理论形成所做贡献的重要程度。从这幅画像中浮现出的是一位折衷主义者的形象，他对血管解剖学和生物学中主导概念的发展产生了显著影响。
