  Gabriele Falloppio (www.whonamedit.com)
Falloppio was appointed to the chair of pharmacy in Ferrara and in 1549 accepted the chair of anatomy at the University of Pisa (24: teacher of anatomy in Pisa 1548-1551), where he was wrongfully accused of practising human vivisection.
Falloppio's description of the auditory apparatus was superior to that of Vesalius and includes the first clear account of the round and oval windows, the cochlea, the semicircular canals, and the scala vestibuli and tympani.
Falloppio’s most important contribution to urology is his account of the kidneys, although it is always difficult to determine whether the priority is properly that of Falloppio or of his contemporary Bartolomeo Eustachi (1510-1574).

 Gabriele Falloppio Biography | scit_0312_package.xml
Gabriele Falloppio, an illustrious anatomist of the sixteenth century and one of the founders of modern anatomy, is best remembered for the first accurate description of human oviducts or "fallopian tubes,"; which he correctly described as resembling small trumpets.
Falloppio's most important contribution to urology is his account of the kidney, but it is unclear whether the priority belongs to him or to his contemporary Bartolomeo Eustachio (1510?-1574).
Falloppio was a very effective teacher and careful observer, who demonstrated courage in challenging the accepted medical authorities, especially those of Galen (129-199), whose sayings had been revered as laws for over 1,200 years.

The emphasis of this work is largely geological; the origin of springs and fountains, the nature of subterranean fire and generation of heat within the earth, and the vexing question of the origin of fossils.
'Falloppio, as one of the great line of Paduan anatomists, would have been well aware of organic resemblances in whatever fossils he was familiar with; yet he felt that their occurrence on hilltops far from the sea made their organic origin unacceptable.
Falloppio also describes many individual springs, their geology, the nature of their waters and their medicinal virtues.

 Fallopian tube definition - Medical Dictionary definitions of popular medical terms
Any process (such as infection, endometriosis, tumors, or scar tissue in the pelvis (pelvic adhesions) that cause twisting or chinking of the tube) that damages the Fallopian tube or narrows its diameter increases the chance of an ectopic pregnancy: a pregnancy developing in the Fallopian tube or another abnormal location outside the uterus.
Of the various works by Falloppio only the "Observationes anatomicae", a work of great originality, was published during his lifetime.
In it he made a number of contributions to the knowledge of centers of ossification, to the detailed account of muscles, and to the understanding of the vascular system and the kidneys.
