It was based upon Rudolphi's own experience, particularly in comparative anatomy, and served as a useful counterforce to the romantic and speculative physiology then prevailing in Germany. ... His simple and concise grouping of tissues was valuable. He gave a clear and realistic account of the functions of various parts of the body, which in general agreed with modern conceptions.' Born Swedish he stayed in Germany from 1801.
