1648-1730
French anatomist who graduated from the University of Avignon and became a professor of anatomy in Paris. He named the nerves of the brachial plexus, which are spinal nerves supplying impulses to the arm and hand and was the first to produce a book regarding the functioning of the ear in 1683. Duverney also discovered a ganglion, or bundle of nerves, behind the eyes and was the first to note the tensor tarsi muscle of the eye.
