Marie Philibert Constant SappeyMarie Philibert Constant Sappey (1810 - March 15, 1896) was a French anatomist who was born in Cernon, near the city of Bourg-en-Bresse. He studied medicine at the University of Paris, earning his degree in 1843. Later he became a professor of anatomy in Paris, and in 1862 was elected to the Academy of Medicine, becoming its president in 1887. In 1868 he succeeded Jean-François Jarjavay (1815–1868) as chair of anatomy, a position he held until 1886. Additional recommended knowledgeSappey was a highly regarded anatomist in the later half of the 19th century, and he is especially known for his research concerning the lymphatic system. In 1874 he published an anatomical atlas which included a detailed study of cutaneous lymphatic drainage. He devised a procedure to define and delineate the lymphatic system by injecting mercury into the skin of a cadaver in order to properly view the individual lymphatic vessels. Anatomist Henri Rouvière (1876-1952) continued Sappey's anatomical work of the human lymphatic system. Associated Eponyms:
