 Regnier De Graaf Biography | scit_0312_package.xml
De Graaf was born on July 30, 1641, in the Dutch town of Schoonhoven.
In 1664, de Graaf conducted the first of his important experiments—in this case, involving the pancreas.
De Graaf was only 32 years old when he died on August 21, 1673, a victim of the plague.

 Developmental Biology Online: Anton von Leeuwenhoek and his perception of spermatozoa
In 1673, however, Leeuwenhoek's fellow townsman, the prominent young anatomist Regnier de Graaf, brought him to the attention of the Royal Society in London as a maker of exceptional microscopes (1).
It was de Graaf who recognized that the true egg was in fact much smaller than the whole follicle and discovered in rabbits what he took to be the egg in the middle of the fallopian tube (21).
Unaware of de Graaf's distinction between the follicle and the actual egg, Leeuwenhoek immediately proclaimed his astonishment that so much had been ascribed to vesicles that contained nothing but a watery fluid with globules that could be dislodged only with violence to surrounding tissues (23).

 Regnier de Graaf Summary
De Graaf was born in Schoonhoven, Netherlands, on July 30, 1641.
By observing the ovaries before and after fertilization, de Graaf was able to recognize changes in their structure and to see the release of fertilized ova.
However, because the ovum itself was not identified until a century and a half later, de Graaf was unable to explain the phenomena he observed.

 Reignier de Graaf (1641-1673)
Podemos situar a esta figura de la medicina en uno de los momentos de mayor esplendor de la anatomía descriptiva y en el que se produjeron las disputas sobre las teorías embriológicas entre los preformacionistas y los que defendían la epigénesis.
Es interesante destacar que Graaf se dio cuenta de la naturaleza glandular del cuerpo lúteo, descubrimiento que no se estabeció definitivamente hasta 1900 y que significó un extraordinario avance para la moderna endocrinología.
Graaf también ideó técnicas novedosas para inyectar sustancias solidificables y coloreadas en los vasos sanguíneos del cadáver, practicada ya en el siglo XVI y reinventada de alguna manera en el XVII, que le valieron muchas disputas con otros científicos, entre los que cabe mencionar a Jan Swammerdam (1637-1680).

It was his friend Regnier de Graaf (1641-1693) who made sure that Leeuwenhoek's achievements became known to a wider audience.
De Graaf put Leeuwenhoek in contact with the Royal Society in London, to which he communicated most of his discoveries in papers in the form of a lengthy correspondence with Henry Oldenburg, the Society’s secretary.
He was, however, able to rely upon such friends as Regnier de Graaf and Constantijn Huygens (1596-1687) as well as upon professional translators to aid him.

Regnier de Graaf, who is credited with the first description of the Graafian follicle was unhappy with the clysters available at the time, as in many cases they required both hands to operate the syringe or to squeeze the clyster bag.
De Graaf described the proper method to use the clyster syringe in his treatise De Clysteribus published in 1668.
The second type of enema apparatus was a pressure-fed type of enema which de designated the improved "syringe".

During the second half of the century the study of glands was initiated by the English doctor Thomas Wharton, who demonstrated salivary secretion, and by the Danish anatomist Nicolaus Steno, who demonstrated the secretions of the tear glands and salivary glands.
The Dutch doctor Regnier de Graaf furthered glandular study by his discovery of the follicles in the ovary; he also performed studies on pancreatic juices and bile.
The English doctor Richard Lower was the first to transfuse blood from one animal to another, and the French doctor Jean-Baptiste Denis first gave a human being a successful blood transfusion.

 De mujer - Desarrollo de gametos femeninos
De 7 millones de óvulos que tienen los ovarios, mientras la niña está en el vientre de su madre, sólo quedan 400.000 al momento de su nacimiento.
La edad desempeña un papel importante en el proceso reproductivo porque la mujer nace con el número total de óvulos que va a liberar a lo largo de su vida reproductiva, de tal manera que a los 20 años un óvulo tiene 20 años de edad y a los 40, tiene 40 años.
Estas hormonas femeninas producen una serie de modificaciones en el aparato reproductor, como la producción de moco cervical, para favorecer la penetración de los espermatozoides, el desarrollo del endometrio, donde se anida el embrión, y el crecimiento del folículo, que se va a romper para que ocurra la ovulación.

In 1654 van Leeuwenhoek returned to Delft and married Barbara de Mey, who was to bear him five children.
As early as 1668 he took one of his microscopes on a visit to England and used it to examine chalk from the cliffs in Kent.
In 1673 Regnier de Graaf, a brilliant young physician of Delft, wrote a letter about Van Leeuwenhoek's work to Henry Oldenburg, Secretary of the Royal Society in London.

By the close of the nineteenth century it had been deduced that the CL originated from the ovulated follicle.
Evidently de Graaf had mistaken the follicle for an egg.
A definitive description of the follicle-enclosed "ovulum" was contributed by Karl Ernst von Baer in 1827.

 Genetics
His followers believed that the homunculus was in the sperm, the father “planted his seed,” and the mother just incubated and nourished the homunculus so it grew into a baby.
On the other hand, Regnier de Graaf and his followers thought that they saw the homunculus in the egg, and the presence of semen just somehow stimulated its growth.
In the 1800s, a very novel, “radical” idea arose: both parents contribute to the new baby, but people (even Darwin, as he proposed his theory) still believed that these contributions were in the form of pangenes.

Regnier de Graaf, on the other hand, thought he saw the homunculus in the egg and that the sperm merely triggers its growth somehow.
This split the preformationists: was the miniature adult in the egg (followers of de Graaf) or the sperm (followers of Leeuwenhoek)?
Additionally, Leeuwenhoek proposed that fertilization occurs when the sperm enters the egg, but this could not actually be observed for another 100 years because of the quality of microscopes which were available.

At about the same time, in 1672, Regnier de Graaf described little chambers in the uterus of the rabbit and concluded that they must have come from the organs that he called the ovaries.
He observed the changes taking place in rabbits' ovaries in the first days after fertilization and described vesicular follicles in the ovary, which are still called De Graaf’s follicles in his honor.
However, he wrongly took the follicle to be the egg.

 Zora's Column--WN May 1988
Boyle also is known to have corresponded with at least two citizens of Delft, the anatomist Regnier de Graaf (1641-1673) and Antony Van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723).
Since both de Graaf and Leeuwenhoek shared their work and are credited with the discovery of procreative cells of humans, it seems likely that they were aware of alchemical concerns and descriptions of the various states of matter and specifically of the sources of life.
We know Leeuwenhoek spent an enormous amount of time examining the relative pure states of snow water, rain water and material contributors to the beginnings of life.

 Ovarian follicle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oocytes are swaddled in a layer of granulosa cells that are together enclosed in a thin layer of Extracellular matrix – the follicular basement membrane or basal lamina - to constitute the ovarian follicle.
As ovarian follicles grow larger they become discernible to the naked eye, these large ovarian follicles are sometimes called Graafian follicles (after Regnier de Graaf).
In humans, oocytes are established in the ovary before birth, and may lay dormant awaiting initiation for up to 50 years
