Johann Friedrich Meckel (1781-1833) was a 19th century anatomist born into an eminent dynasty. He was a professor of anatomy, pathology, and zoology at the University of Halle, in Central Germany. The diverticulum, a congenital remnant of the vitellointestinal duct was named after him. Other eponyms include Meckel's cartilage, Meckel syndrome, and Meckel-Serres law of recapitulation. His concepts in comparative anatomy, embryology, and teratology anticipated Darwin. This review is a short tribute to this legend and his prolific contributions. LEVEL: Historic review, level V.
约翰·弗里德里希·迈尔克（1781-1833 年）是 19 世纪出生于一个杰出家族的解剖学家。他曾是德国中部哈勒大学的解剖学、病理学和动物学教授。憩室，卵黄肠管的先天性残余物，就是以他的名字命名的。其他以他的名字命名的还有迈尔克氏软骨、迈尔克氏综合征和迈尔克-塞雷斯重演律。他在比较解剖学、胚胎学和畸形学方面的概念预示了达尔文的理论。这篇综述是对这位传奇人物及其丰富贡献的简短致敬。水平：历史回顾，五级。
