ABSTRACT

In Fabrica, Vesalius drew and described structures as if he were dissecting them under a surgical microscope; he distinguished the layers of the walls of intestine and blood vessels, described the diverse course of the fibers in the walls of vessels, showed the branches of the bronchi on its coronal section, and depicted the entry of the terminal branch of nerve into the muscle. In anatomy books before Fabrica, drawings similar to Vesalius's deep dissections were rare, and when they appeared in books after Fabrica, they were almost identical to the deep dissections in Fabrica. These results remind us of the special place Vesalius and his Fabrica occupy in the history of anatomy.
