Marie François Xavier Bichat (November 14, 1771 - July 22, 1802) was a French anatomist and physiologist. Bichat is best remembered as the father of modern histology and pathology. Bichat's main contribution to medicine and physiology was his perception that the diverse body of organs contain particular tissues or membranes, and he described 21 such membranes, including connective, muscle, and nerve tissue.
