Jules Germain Cloquet

Jules Germain Cloquet (18 December 1790 – 23 February 1883) was a French physician and surgeon who was born and practiced medicine in Paris.

In 1821 Jules Cloquet became one of the earliest members elected to the Académie Nationale de Médecine in Paris.

In 1836, he was elected Honorary Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland.

Cloquet's name is associated with three anatomical terms regarding the femoral canal: Cloquet was a skilled artist; in his best-known work, Anatomie de l'homme, most of the 1300 illustrations were drawn by him.

He also had a keen interest in alternative medical practices such as mesmerism and acupuncture.
