Haversov Canal

William Havers or William Flinders Havers was an English anatomist, physiologist and surgeon during the Renaissance. He was a Fellow of the Royal Society and one of the first Professors of Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh.

Havers was born in 1630 in North Yorkshire, England. During his life he worked in various medical institutions, including the University of Bologna in Italy, the Hospital of Jesus Christ and the Royal College of Physicians. In addition to medical practice, Havers was also involved in scientific research, developing new methods of teaching anatomy and surgical practice.

Havers's most famous invention is Havers's Canal, which is an anatomical landmark in the human brain. This canal passes through the thalamus and cerebral cortex and connects the cerebellum to the occipital lobe of the brain. Havers's discovery of the canal is one of the most significant achievements in the field of neurology and neuroanatomy.

In addition, Havers made a significant contribution to the development of health care in England. He founded Edinburgh Hospital and became the first professor of anatomy at University College Edinburgh, now the largest medical university in Scotland.
