Introduction

Johann Friedrich Meckel (1781 - 1833) the Younger, was a historic German anatomist. Best known today for two developmental features that bear his name.

Meckel's cartilage, a developmental cartilage bar present in the first pharyngeal arch and acting as a template for the future position of the mandible and contributing the malleus and incus of the middle ear.
Meckel's diverticulum, a developmental abnormality of the gastrointestinal tract due to the persistence of the embryonic vitelline duct (omphalomesenteric duct, yolk stalk).
