Robert William Reid
Robert William Reid (1851–1939) was a Scottish anatomist whose 1884 paper "Observations on the relation of the principal fissures and convolutions of the cerebrum to the outer surface of the scalp" introduced what would become known as Reid's base line. Life Reid was born on 14 May 1851 at the Manse of St Mary's Kirk, Auchindoir, Aberdeenshire, to the Reverend William Reid and Elizabeth Mary Scott. He was educated at the village school at Lumsden, then Aberdeen Grammar School, and King's College, Aberdeen. His medical studies were at Marischal College, where he became anatomical assistant to Professor Sir John Struthers. In 1873 he became demonstrator of anatomy at St Thomas' Hospital, London, and in 1881 a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons. He was one of the founders of the Anatomical Society (est. 1887), serving as its president 1910–1912. When Professor Struthers retired in 1889, Reid succeeded him as Regius Professor of Anatomy at the University of Aberdeen. He in ...

Anatomist
Anatomy () is the branch of morphology concerned with the study of the internal structure of organisms and their parts. Anatomy is a branch of natural science that deals with the structural organization of living things. It is an old science, having its beginnings in prehistoric times. Anatomy is inherently tied to developmental biology, embryology, comparative anatomy, evolutionary biology, and phylogeny, as these are the processes by which anatomy is generated, both over immediate and long-term timescales. Anatomy and physiology, which study the structure and function of organisms and their parts respectively, make a natural pair of related disciplines, and are often studied together. Human anatomy is one of the essential basic sciences that are applied in medicine, and is often studied alongside physiology. Anatomy is a complex and dynamic field that is constantly evolving as discoveries are made. In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the use of ...

Reid's Base Line
Reid's base line is used for an unambiguous definition of the orientation of the human skull in conventional radiography, computer tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies. It is defined as a line drawn from the inferior margin of the orbit (''Orbitale'' point) to the auricular point (center of the orifice of the external acoustic meatus, ''Auriculare'' point) and extending backward to the center of the occipital bone. Reid's base line is used as the zero plane in computed tomography. Paediatric base line is an anatomic line that maintains a fixed relation to facial bones throughout the period of growth. In 1962, the World Federation of Radiology defined it as the line between the infraorbital margin and the upper margin of the external auditory meatus. It originally derived from Robert William Reid's 1884 paper "Observations on the relation of the principal fissures and convolutions of the cerebrum to the outer surface of the scalp".The Lancet, 1884, 2, 539. ...

St Mary's Kirk, Auchindoir
St Mary's Kirk at Auchindoir, between Rhynie and Lumsden, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland, is one of the country's finest surviving medieval parish kirks. The main doorway is early Romanesque, and there is a well-preserved early 16th-century sacrament house, similar to those at Deskford and Kinkell. The early 13th-century kirk has been roofless since the early 19th century, but the walls and gables are nevertheless in good condition. In the care of Historic Scotland, it is registered as a Scheduled Ancient Monument. Unusual survivor St Mary's is rare for a Scottish church in that it has survived into the modern era without any major alterations. Although surviving medieval churches are reasonably common throughout the country, almost all were significantly altered during and after the Reformation, often so heavily transformed that it is difficult to see their medieval origins. Of the few other churches which have survived the Reformation largely intact, e.g. Rosslyn Chapel ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

John Struthers (anatomist)
Sir John Struthers Doctor of Medicine, MD FRCSE FRSE ( – ) was the first Regius Professor of Anatomy (Aberdeen), Regius Professor of Anatomy at the University of Aberdeen. He was a dynamic teacher and administrator, transforming the status of the institutions in which he worked. He was equally passionate about anatomy, enthusiastically seeking out and dissecting the largest and finest specimens, including whales, and troubling his colleagues with his single-minded quest for money and space for his collection. His collection was donated to Surgeon's Hall in Edinburgh. Among scientists, he is perhaps best known for his work on the ligament which bears his name. His work on the rare and vestigial ligament of Struthers came to the attention of Charles Darwin, who used it in his ''Descent of Man'' to help argue the case that man and other mammals shared a common ancestor ; or "community of descent," as Darwin expressed it. Among the public, Struthers was famous for his dissection o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Royal College Of Surgeons
The Royal College of Surgeons is an ancient college (a form of corporation) established in England to regulate the activity of surgeons. Derivative organisations survive in many present and former members of the Commonwealth. These organisations are now also responsible for training surgeons and setting their examinations.

This was followed in 1505 by the incorporation of the Barber Surgeons of Edinburgh as a Craft Guild of Edinburgh. This body was granted a royal charter in 1506 by King James IV of Scotland. It w ...
