On The Motion Of The Heart And Blood In Animals

On The Motion Of The Heart And Blood In Animals is a groundbreaking scientific work written by William Harvey in 1628. In this book, Harvey describes his discovery of the circulation of blood in the human body. He explains how the heart pumps blood through the arteries and veins, and how the blood returns to the heart through the veins. Harvey's work challenged the prevailing beliefs of his time, which held that blood was produced in the liver and consumed by the body's tissues. Through careful observation and experimentation, Harvey was able to prove that the heart was the source of blood circulation. His work revolutionized the field of medicine and laid the foundation for modern physiology. This book is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of science and medicine.THIS 92 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Scientific Papers: Physiology, Medicine, Surgery, Geology: V38 Harvard Classics, by William Harvey.
