Biology Cell History

  • Living creatures with decaying tissue

    Living creatures with decaying tissue
    Summary: That maggots and other living creatures developed in decaying tissues. Why I chose this for my timeline: I chose this because I felt that it was a big part of our history and it showed the discovery of living creatures.
  • Hooke published Micrographia

    Hooke published Micrographia
    Summary: The first important work devoted, to microscopical observation, and showed what the microscope could mean for naturalists.
    Why is this event important: It was the first work ever devoted to microscopical.
  • Period: to

    Natura non facit saltus was disproved

    Summary: This theory, which implied a continuity between living and non-living matter.
    Why is this event important: It is important because it try to prove the continuity between living and non-living things.
  • Period: to

    Robbert Brown recognized the nucleus

    Summary: A term that he introduced as an essential constituent of living cells.
    Why I chose this: I chose this because I felt it was important due to the constituent of living cells in nucleus.
  • Period: to

    Nerve cells was established

    Summary: Kolliker's expanded view and proposed that, in all of the central nervous system.
    Why I chose this: I chose this because it shows how nerve cells were introduced and how it was introduced.
  • Period: to

    Spontaneous generation refuted

    Summary: The Hypothetical process by which living organisms develop from non-living matter.
    Why I chose this: I chose this because, it shows the up and downs of what this theory actually does and what are the downfalls of this theory.
  • Achromatic microscopes introduced

    Achromatic microscopes introduced
    Summary: It allowed more precise histological observations
    Why is this important: It made it a easier way for scientists to be more precise on their observations.
  • Basic cells components emerged

    Basic cells components emerged
    Summary: Idea that the cells is the basic components of living things.
    Why I chose this: I chose this because this theory was hints and it was a idea from somebody well before 1838 and how it was proving.
  • Period: to

    Intracellular apparatus was discovered

    Summary: Camillo Golgi discovered the intracellular apparatus that bears his name.
    Why is it important: It is important to show that his discover means something and how it bear his name.
  • Neurons were introduced

    Neurons were introduced
    Summary: Waldeyer introduced the term "neurons" to indicate independent nerve cells.
    Why is this important: This is important because Waldeyer made the term neurons and was the first to ever witness and name the neuron.
