Name Pierre Lalouette | Died 1792 | |
Pierre Lalouette de Vernicourt (1711 - 1792) was a distinguished French anatomist.
He described a lobe present in around a third of the population's thyroids that would later be called the Lalouette's Pyramid. When asked about a possible function for the thyroid gland, Lalouette said that it "would intervene to modulate voice expression by the liquid it produces."
