On The Motion Of The Heart And Blood In Animals - William Harvey - Bog

On The Motion Of The Heart And Blood In Animals is a scientific book written by William Harvey in the 17th century. It is considered one of the most important works in the history of medicine and biology. The book describes the circulation of blood in the human body and the role of the heart in this process. Harvey's research and experiments led him to discover that blood is pumped by the heart through a closed circulatory system, and that the same blood flows through the arteries and veins in a continuous loop. This groundbreaking discovery challenged the prevailing theories of the time and laid the foundation for modern physiology. The book is written in Latin and is divided into three sections that cover the anatomy and function of the heart, the circulation of blood, and the role of the veins in the process. It is a fundamental work in the history of medicine and is still studied and referenced by medical professionals and researchers today.THIS 92 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Scientific Papers: Physiology, Medicine, Surgery, Geology: V38 Harvard Classics, by William Harvey.
