ON THE HISTORY OF DISCOVERY AND DESCRIPTION OF ANATOMY AND FUNCTION OF DUCTUS PANCREATICUS
Abstract
An article provides author’s translation from Latin of letters between Johann Georg Wirsung (1589-1643) and his teacher Jean Riolan-junior (1580-1657) concerning anatomy and function of ductus pancreaticus, promulgated by Riolan in own work «Opuscula anatomica nova» (1649). Produced correspondence shows that both researches were very far from correct understanding of function of entity discovered by Wirsung. First, who suggested a role of pancreatic duct fluid in digestion, was famous Dutch physician and scientist Franciscus Sylvius (1614-1672), assumed this idea in 1659.
