Cowper, William (English surgeon)

    0.05 sec.

Cowper, William (1666-1709)

English surgeon and anatomist. His name is associated with the bulbourethral glands described by him in 1699, although they had been discovered by Jean Mery in 1684. He was first to describe insufficiency of the aortic valve.

Cowper was born in Petersfield, Hampshire. He was admitted a barber-surgeon in 1682, and published Myotomia Reformata (1694), a treatise on the muscles, and The Anatomy of the Human Body (1698).
