Sir William Bowman, 1st Baronet was an English surgeon, histologist & anatomist. He is most famous for his research using microscopes to study various human organs, though during his lifetime he pursued a successful career as an ophthalmologist. Born in Nantwich, Cheshire, England, third son of a banker & amateur botanist/geologist, Bowman attended Hazelwood School near Birmingham from 1826.

  • Sir William Bowman, 1st Baronet was an English surgeon, histologist & anatomist. He is most famous for his research using microscopes to study various human organs, though during his lifetime he pursued a successful career as an ophthalmologist. Born in Nantwich, Cheshire, England, third son of a banker & amateur botanist/geologist, Bowman attended Hazelwood School near Birmingham from 1826. A childhood accident involving gunpowder is supposed to have interested him in medicine, and he was apprenticed to surgeon Joseph Hodgson at Birmingham General Hospital in 1832. He left Birmingham in 1837 to further his training as a surgeon and attended King's College London, where he served as a prosector under Robert Bentley Todd, a Professor of physiology. His earliest notable work was on the structure of striated muscle, for which he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1841. At the young age of 25, he identified what then became known as the Bowman's capsule, a key component of the nephron. He presented his findings in 1842 in his paper "On the Structure and Use of the Malpighian Bodies of the Kidney" to the Royal Society and was awarded the Royal Medal. His collaboration with Todd led to the publication of the five-volume "Physiological Anatomy and Physiology of Man" (1843-1856) and "Cyclopaedia of Anatomy and Physiology" (1852), which detailed their research on microscopy and histology, relating minute anatomical observations to physiological functions. Their extensive use of the microscopes revolutionized the study of anatomy and physiology. Apart from the Bowman's capsule, other anatomical structures named after him include: Bowman's glands — in the olfactory mucosa Bowman's membrane — the anterior limiting membrane in the cornea After completing his surgical training in 1844, Bowman practised as an ophthalmologist at the Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital (later known as Moorfields Eye Hospital). He was an early user of the opthalmoscope invented by Hermann von Helmholtz in 1851. Between 1848 and 1855, he also taught at King's College. In 1880, he founded the 'Ophthalmological Society', which later became the Royal College of Ophthalmologists. In 1884, Queen Victoria created him as a baronet. He died at his house, Joldwynds, near Dorking, in Surrey in 1892.

  • Sir William Bowman, 1st Baronet var en engelsk kirurg, histolog og anatom. Han er mest kjent for sin forskning på en rekke organer ved bruk av mikroskop skjønt han egenglig var en oftamolog med en ikke ubetydelig karriére. Han var født i Nantwich i Cheshire i England som 3. sønn av en bankiér og amatør-botaniker og -geolog. Bowman var elev ved Hazelwood School nær Birmingham fra 1826 . Et ulykke i barndommen med krutt antas å ha invirket på hans interesse for medisin og han var lærling under kirurgen Joseph Hodgson ved Birmingham General Hospital i 1832 . I 1837 forlot han Birmingham for å fortsette sine studier innen kirurgi ved King's College London der han fungeret som en prosektor under Robert Bentley Todd, professor i fysiologi. Hans første arbeider av betydning var om stripet muskulatur. På denne bakgrunn ble han valgt inn som Fellow of the Royal Society i 1841 . I en alder av bare 25 år identifiserte han det som er blitt kjent som Bowman's capsule, en vesentlig komponent i nevronet.. Han publiserte sine oppdagelser i artikkelen: «On the Structure and Use of the Malpighian Bodies of the Kidney» for Royal Society og ble belønnet med utmerkelsen Royal Medal. Hans samarbeide med Todd førte til 5-bindsverket: Physiological Anatomy and Physiology of Man og Cyclopaedia of Anatomy and Physiology. Her beskrives i detalj deres forskning innen mikroskopi og hisologi og observasjoner av fysiologiske funksjoner. Deres omfattende bruk av mikroskop ble et vesentlig bidrag til studier innen anatomi og fysiologi. Bowmans arbeider ga også opphav til Bowman's glands — in the olfactory mucosa Bowmans membran — the anterior limiting membrane in the cornea Etter å ha fullført sin praksistid som kirurg i 1844, praktisert Bowman som oftalmolog ved Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital (senere kjent som Moorfields Eye Hospital). Han ble en tidlig bruker av oftalmoskop, oppfunnet av Hermann von Helmholtz in 1851 . Fra 1848 til 1855 underviste han ved King's College. I 1880 grunnla han «Ophthalmological Society» som senere er kjent som Royal College of Ophthalmologists. I 1884 ble Bowman av dronning Victoria utnevnt til baronet. Han døde i sitt hjem i Joldwynds ved Dorking i Surrey i 1892
  • Sir William Bowman, 1st Baronet (ur. 20 lipca 1816, zm. 29 marca 1892) był brytyjskim chirurgiem, histologiem i anatomem. Jest najlepiej znany ze swoich badań różnych ludzkich narządami przy użyciu mikroskopu, chociaż praktykował również, z sukcesami, jako okulista. Urodził się w Nantwich, Cheshire jako trzeci syn bankiera, a zarazem amatora botaniki i geologii. Bowman uczęszczał do szkoły Hazelwood niedaleko Birmingham od 1826. Wypadek w dzieciństwie związany z prochem strzelniczym stał się prawdopodobnie przyczyną jego zainteresowania medycyną. Uczył się zawodu u Josepha Hodgsona w szpitalu w Birmingham od 1832. Opuścił Birmingham w 1837 w celu pobrania dalszych nauk chirurgicznych w King's College London, gdzie pracował jako prosektor pod okiem Roberta Bentleya Todda, profesora fizjologii. Jego najwcześniejsza godna uwagi praca dotyczyła struktury mięśni poprzecznie prążkowanych, za którą został wybrany członkiem Royal Society w 1841. W wieku 25 lat zidentyfikował strukturę, która później została nazwana torebką Bowmana. W 1884, Królowa Wiktoria nadała mu tytuł baroneta. Zmarł w swoim domu, Joldwynds niedaleko Dorking, Surrey w 1892.
