Charles Bell (anatomist)

Charles Bell was a 19th-century Scottish anatomist and neurologist known for discovering the distinction between sensory and motor nerves. His work helped explain how the nervous system sends signals to and from different parts of the body, vital for movement and sensation. Bell also studied the anatomy of the brain and spinal cord, contributing to understanding neural functions. His insights laid important groundwork for neurology and medicine, advancing knowledge of how our nervous system controls actions and processes sensory information.
