After studying medicine at Heidelberg and at Bonn, where he took his doctor's degree ~fl 1832, he became prosector in anatomy to Johannes Müller at Berlin. During the six years he spent in that position he published a large amount of work, including three anatomical monographs on new species of animals, and papers on the structure of the lacteal system, the distribution of epithelium in the human body, the structure and development of the hair, the formation of mucus and pusPus is a whitish-yellow or yellow substance that can be found in regions of bacterial infection, including superficial infections, such as pimples. An accumulation of pus in an enclosed tissue space is known as an abscess. Pus consists of macrophages {a t, etc.

Physiology has traditionally been divided into plant physiology and animal physiology but the principles of physiology are universal, no matter what partic and pathology. About this period he was engaged on his complete system of general anatomy, which formed the sixth volume of the new edition of ST von Sommerring 's treatise, published at LeipzigThe University of Leipzig is one of the oldest universities in Europe. It was founded in the early 15th century and was originally comprised of four faculties. In DDR-times, it was called Karl-Marx-university (KMU).

In 1852 he moved to Göttingen, whence he issued three years later the first instalment of his great Handbook of Systematic Human Anatomy, the last volume of which was, not published till 1873. This work was perhaps the most complete and comprehensive of its kind that had so far appeared, and it was remarkable not only for the fullness and minuteness of the anatomical descriptions, but also for the number and excellence of the illustrations with which they were elucidated minute anatomy of the blood vessels, serous membrane s, kidney eye, nails, central nervous system, etc. He died at Göttingen.
