Victor von Ebner
Anton Gilbert Victor von Ebner, Ritter von Rofenstein (February 4, 1842 – March 20, 1925) was an Austrian anatomist and histologist.
Early life and education
Victor von Ebner was a native of Bregenz.
He was a student at the Universities of Göttingen, where he became member of Burschenschaft Hannovera (fraternity), later Vienna (under Ernst Wilhelm von Brücke), and Graz (under Alexander Rollett). In 1866 he earned his doctorate from the University of Vienna.
Career
He was a professor of histology and developmental history at the University of Graz (1873), and a professor of histology at the University of Vienna (1888).
He was editor of Volume III of the sixth edition of Albert von Kölliker's Handbuch der Gewebelehre des Menschen (1899). In addition to his studies involving human anatomy and histology, he was also author of works with zoological and botanical themes.
Because of his descriptions of three anatomical structures, they have been named for him:
- von Ebner's glands (a.k.a. Ebner's glands): a type of serous gland that is found in circumvallate papillae of the tongue
- Ebner's lines: short period incremental lines in the dentin and cementum of the tooth[1]
- Ebner's reticulum: network of nucleated cells in the seminiferous tubules
