«i»Munro, Alexander (1733-1877) Third in a remarkable line of medical Munros, Alexander Munro was the son of an equally famous namesake, who also held the Chair of Anatomy at Edinburgh University. The son, however, was more eminent in research; he made highly significant insights into the order of the lymphatic system and the structure and functions of the nervous system. He had an elder brother who was an eminent London physician. Alexander Munro (Secondus) was succeeded in the Chair of Anatomy by his son, Alexander Munro (Tertius) who ended a remarkable dynasty of Munros spanning 126 years in the Chair of Anatomy at Edinburgh University.
