About Friedrich Christian Rosenthal
- Friedrich Christian Rosenthal (June 3, 1780 – December 5, 1829) was a German anatomist who was a native of Greifswald. He earned his doctorate from the University of Jena, and later opened a medical practice in Greifswald (1804).
- In Greifswald he worked closely with naturalist Karl Asmund Rudolphi (1771–1832), earning his habilitation in 1807 from the local university with a treatise on olfaction.
- In 1810 he accepted an appointment to the University of Berlin, and in 1820 returned to Greifswald as a professor of physiology and anatomy.
- He died in 1829 at the age of 49 due to consequences from tuberculosis. Rosenthal is remembered today for two anatomical terms that contain his name: Rosenthal's canal, or the spiral canal of the cochlea (canalis spiralis cochleae): A section of the bony labyrinth of the inner ear that is approximately 30 mm long, making 2?3/4 turns about the modiolus. Rosenthal's vein, or the cerebral basal vein (vena basalis): a vein that arises at the anterior perforated substance, passes backward and around the cerebral peduncle, and empties into the vein of Galen.
