J. N. Čermák (Czermak) was born in Prague (1828) in a family devoted to medical practice and science.He belongs to Purkyně's pupils - in Wroclav as his student, later in Prague as his assistant. Čermak as professor of physiology was active at several universities in Graz, Cracow, Pest .He was considered to be most suitable successor of Purkyně. But Purkyně Czearmak's wish to work as extraordinary Professor in Prague, politely, but firmly refuses. Čermak accepts invitation from university at Jena and finally from Leipzig, where in 1873 dies. Čermak's name is known in dental literature in connection with the description of interglobular spaces in dentin. His research also concerns the physiology of senses, of voice, vertigo, blood circulation. He became famous for the elaboration of method for larynx examination by the mirror of his own construction and the introduction of posterior rhinoscopy.
