Discussion: On the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals

Author: William Harvey

Description: William Harvey’s On the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals (1628) is a groundbreaking work in the history of science, in which Harvey describes the circulatory system and how blood flows through the heart and body. Harvey challenged the long-standing Galenic theory of blood movement, offering evidence-based observations and experiments to prove that the heart functions as a pump, circulating blood in a closed system. His work revolutionized anatomy and physiology, laying the foundation for modern medicine and contributing to the understanding of human and animal biology.
