LifeTurner was born in Lancaster the son of William Turner a relatively rich cabinetmaker, and his wife, Margaret Aldren. He was educated at various private schools, and then apprenticed to a local physician, Dr Christopher Johnston.[1] He afterwards studied medicine at St. Bartholomew's hospital, and graduated M.B. from the University of London in 1857.[2] In 1854 he became senior demonstrator in anatomy at the University of Edinburgh. He lived in rooms at Old College.[3] In 1861 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh, his proposer being John Goodsir. He served as the Society's Secretary from 1869 to 1891, twice as Vice President from 1891 to 1895 and from 1897 to 1903, and as President from 1908 to 1913.

The book has had multiple issues and remains in print in the 21st century. Turner was appointed Professor of Anatomy at the University of Edinburgh in 1867.[2] Only at this point (despite being married) did he leave his rooms at Old College and move to a house. This was at 7 Brunswick Street north of Calton Hill.[5] His assistant at this point was Morrison Watson who acted as his Demonstrator. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1877.

The charts illustrate bones, ligaments, muscles, heart and arteries, veins and lungs, organs of digestion, nervous system, and organs of sense and voice.[7] He was President of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh 1882/3.
