Jul 8, 2020 · On the other hand, Oken prefigured the fundamental concept of cell theory in his book Die Zeugung (Oken Footnote 1, Lorenz: Die Zeugung. Bamberg und Würzburg, Goebhardt, 1805). His prescient theory described all organisms as composed of so-called infusoria (i.e., single cells) that divide.

Sep 8, 2000 · A pivotal speculation was made by Lorenz Oken in 1805. He argued that multicellular plants and animals are assemblages of the tiny living “infusoria,” such as protozoa, that grow in animal and plant extracts.
In 1805 Lorenz Oken made several statements that together make up the cell theory. Here are the four parts of the cell theory: 1) All living things are made of cells. 2) Cells are alike in structure and function. 3) Cells need information in order to survive. 4) New cells come from old cells. Why are cells so small? The cell theory never states ...

Mar 2, 2018 · This idea stimulated the concept of German philosopher Lorenz Oken (1779–1851) that all organisms are composed of “infusoria” and “Urbläschen” (primordial bubbles) as basic life units; this speculation directly preceded the works of the first empirical cell biologists (Canguilhem 2008; Harris 2000). However, it was only the invention ...

L orenz Oken, a proponent of natural science and philosophy, asserted that there are fundamental units of life, which he called "infusoria." His general ideas about the elemental structures of living organisms, though specifically incorrect, anticipated the subsequent identification of the cell and development of cell theory.
