About this work

Description

The programme examines the life and work of Charles Bell. While Bell was teaching dissection he learnt about the anatomy of the nervous system, and identified the nerve whose compression causes partial or even complete paralysis of the face, Bell Palsy. Prof. William Bynum talks about the huge demand for bodies in medical schools that started the trade in grave-snatching.
