Heinrich Wilhelm Gottfried von Waldeyer-Hartz (6 October 1836 – 23 January 1921) was a German anatomist, known for summarizing neuron theory[1] and for naming the chromosome.[2] He is also remembered by anatomical structures of the human body which were named after him: Waldeyer's tonsillar ring[3] (the lymphoid tissue ring of the naso- and oropharynx) and Waldeyer's glands (of the eyelids).[4]
