Remembered for his
anatomical studies, he published a well written
treatise on human anatomy in 1651 noteworthy for its accurate and well written account of
blood circulation. He is especially known for his description of the
maxillary sinus, which used to be more popularly referred to as the
antrum of Highmore. He is also known for describing the scrotal septum that divides the
scrotum into the two sections that each house a single
testicle. Highmore is buried at
Purse Caundle in
Dorset, where his father had been the rector. ==References==
