To discover the anatomist who first identified the upper oesophageal sphincter.
The authors searched dozens of antique anatomy textbooks kept in the old section of the 'Vincenzo Pinali' Medical Library of Padua University, looking for descriptions of the upper oesophageal sphincter.
The oesophageal sphincter was drawn correctly only in 1601, by Julius Casserius, in the book De vocis auditusque organis historia anatomica… (which translates as 'An Anatomical History on the Organs of Voice and Hearing …'), and was properly described by Antonio Maria Valsalva in 1704 in the book De aure humana tractatus… ('Treatise on the Human Ear …').
Anatomists Casserius and Valsalva can be considered the discoverers of the 'oesophageal sphincter'.
找出首个识别出食管上括约肌的解剖学家。
作者查阅了帕多瓦大学“温琴佐·皮纳利”医学图书馆旧区保存的数十本古代解剖学教科书,以寻找有关食管上括约肌的描述。
食管括约肌仅在1601年由朱利叶斯·卡塞里乌斯在《论声音与听觉器官的解剖学史》(直译为《关于声音和听觉器官的解剖学史》)一书中被正确绘制,并于1704年由安东尼奥·玛丽亚·瓦尔萨尔瓦在《论人耳》(直译为《关于人耳的论述》)一书中得到恰当描述。
解剖学家卡塞里乌斯和瓦尔萨尔瓦可被视为“食管括约肌”的发现者。
