Augustin Etienne Physiologist Renaud Serres Tardieu
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print features the renowned French physiologist, Etienne Renaud Augustin Serres (1787-?), also known as ERA Serres or simply Serres. Serres was a pioneering figure in the field of physiology, making significant contributions to the understanding of the circulatory system and the functions of the heart. Born in Lyon, France, Serres began his medical studies in Paris, where he was influenced by the teachings of the great physiologist, Marie-François Xavier Bichat. After completing his studies, Serres returned to Lyon and established a private practice, where he conducted extensive research on the physiology of the heart and circulation. One of Serres' most notable discoveries was the role of the heart in regulating blood pressure. He demonstrated that the heart contracts not only to pump blood but also to maintain a constant pressure in the arteries. This discovery challenged the prevailing view of the time, which held that the heart's primary function was to fill the arteries with blood. Another important contribution of Serres was his work on the reflexes of the heart. He discovered that the heart could respond to external stimuli, such as touch or temperature changes, by altering its rate and force of contraction. This finding helped to advance the understanding of the nervous control of the heart and paved the way for the development of modern cardiology. Despite his many achievements, Serres' life remains shrouded in mystery. The exact date and place of his death are unknown, leaving his legacy as a fascinating enigma in the annals of scientific history. This photograph print serves as a poignant reminder of his groundbreaking discoveries and enduring influence on the field of physiology.
