Jean Fernel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (275 words) |
 | Jean François Fernel (in Latin, Fernelius) (1497?–Fontainebleau 1558) was a French physician who introduced the term "physiology" to describe the study of the body's function. |
| In the 1500s, Fernel suggested that fat could trigger human taste buds, but scientists rejected the idea until a recent study (carried out by Purdue University in 2001) proved it plausible. |
| He born at Clermont, and after receiving his early education at his native town, entered the college of Sainte-Barbe, Paris. |
