From 1705 until 1728, Santorini performed anatomical demonstrations in Venice. His best written work was the 1724 publication of Observationes anatomicae, a detailed work involving anatomical aspects of the human body. He is credited for providing descriptions of several anatomical structures, including the following:
- Santorini's cartilage: The corniculate cartilage of the larynx.
- Santorini's concha: The supreme nasal concha (turbinate).[1]
- Duct of Santorini: An accessory duct of the pancreas.
- Santorini's fissures: Vertical fissures in the anterior part of the cartilage of the external acoustic meatus (ear canal).
- Santorini's minor caruncle: Location of the opening of the accessory pancreatic duct into the duodenum.
- Santorini's muscle: Bundle of muscular fibers that draw the angle of the mouth laterally. Sometimes called the Albinus muscle; named after German anatomist Bernhard Siegfried Albinus (1697–1770).
- Santorini's vein: Vein which passes through the parietal foramen and links the superior sagittal sinus with veins of the scalp.
- Santorini's plexus: plexus of veins found in the Cave of Retzius (retropubic space), see prostatic venous plexus.
