Cell History Timeline

  • Microscope invention

    Microscope invention
    The invention of microscopes would begin in the 17th century. This would allow people to take a look into the microscopic world that lives with us. This is important as it will allow some very important humans to discovery cells.
  • Bridge between life and non life?

    Bridge between life and non life?
    The existences of an entire world of mircopspoic would be seen as a bridge between intimate matter and living organisms. This would support the old Aristotelian doctrine as well. This is important because the theory's would start rolling in.
  • Period: to

    Lazzaro Spallanzani

    Lazzaro Spalanzani was an brillengent naturalist. Him and other resources would show that an organism derives from another organisms. This is a key factor as he would document the exists between inanimate matter and life
  • Period: to

    Otto Friedrich Karl Deiters

    Otto was a famously known neuroanatomist. He would focus his career on his microscopic research of the brain and spinal cord. He was important because of what he would contruiebe to the learning of cells.
  • The cell theory

    The cell theory
    Hints at the idea that the cell is the basic component of living organisms emerged well before 1838. Cells were not seen as undifferentiated struc- tures. Some cellular components, such as the nucleus, had been visualized, and the occurrence of these structures in cells of different tissues and organisms hinted at the possibility that cells of similar organization might underlie all living matter. this would be important as we would start to learn cells and how the are around in our daily life
  • Elementary parts of all tissue

    Elementary parts of all tissue
    Elementary parts of tissue can be seen as Characteristics of cells. It has one surface free and is always found upon a basement tissue. This would be seen as important because it will specialize in sensory cells
  • Book by Otto Fredrick Karl editors

    Book by Otto Fredrick Karl editors
    Otto would go on to write a book about his findings as a neuroanatomist. This book would describe many things like the exquisite detail the branch-like processes of the neuron. This would be important as many researchers and scientist could use the book to go on for more research.
  • Nerve cell body

    Nerve cell body
    The nerve cell body is the bases of the cell itself. Most of the cell bodies of neurons are in the central nervous system which is like the spine cord. This is important as it is the basic function of cells and it is located in important parts of humans and animals anatomy
  • The neuron Theory

    The neuron Theory
    The neuron Theory emerged at the end of the 19th century. It asserts that nerve tissue is composed of individual cells, which are genetic, anatomic, functional and trophic units. This would be important as it would later go on to state states that cells are fundamental discrete units of life.
  • Protoplasmic consitiuents

    Protoplasmic consitiuents
    After Schleiden and Swann’s formulation of cell theory, the basic constituents of the cell were considered to be a wall or a simple membrane. Cells would start to become more complex than before It soon became evident that the protoplasm was not a homogeneous fluid. This would be evelovartary for cells and the theory that comes with it
