| Fahrenheit | <unit> A measurement of temperature commonly used in the U.S.A. Normal body temperature is considered to be 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit or 37 degrees Celsius. Body temperature can vary 1/2 to 1 degree Fahrenheit above or below 98.6 f. And still be considered normal. Body temperature varies with many factors including level of activity. To convert a Fahrenheit temperature to Celsius use: C = (F-32) x 5/9. To convert a Celsius temperature to Fahrenheit use: F = (C x 9/5) + 32 (27 Sep 1997) |

| Fahrenheit scale | A thermometer scale in which the freezing point of water is 32°F and the boiling point of water 212°F; 0°F indicates the lowest temperature Fahrenheit could obtain by a mixture of ice and salt in 1724; °C = (5/9)(°F -32). (05 Mar 2000) |

| Gabriel Fallopius | <person> Italian anatomist. Fallopius (Fallopio) of Modena, a loyal pupil of Vesalius and successor of the Chair at Padua (1551) discovered and described the ovaries, tubes (Fallopian), vagina, placenta, chorda tympani, and the fifth, sixth, and ninth cranial nerves. Although his name is attached to many subjects (Fallopio's pyramidalis muscle, Fallopius nerve, Fallopian aqueduct, Fallopio's seminal vesicles, Fallopian hiatus, Fallopius valve, ligament of Fallopio), he is eponymously remembered by the oviducts or Fallopian tubes. He wrote fluently on syphilis, surgery, diet and anatomy. Fallopius' great work was the "Observations in Anatomy," which corrected some errors in the "Fabrica," and was first published in Venice in 156l. This text is acclaimed to be the second best anatomy (behind the Fabrica). Fallopius, at the age of 24, became Professor of Anatomy at Ferrara, then in 1548 at Pisa, and finally at Padua in 1551, where he was followed by his pupil, Gerolamo Fabrizio d 'Acqueperdente, better known by the name Fabricius. Lived: 1523-1562. See: fallopian aqueduct, fallopian arch, fallopian canal, fallopian hiatus, fallopian ligament, fallopian neuritis, fallopian pregnancy, fallopian tube, aqueductus fallopii, tuba fallopiana, fallopian tube.
