Main event
William Garvey first laid out a new look at the circulatory system in the human body
April 16, 1618
April 16, 1618
In this lecture, he first laid out his vision of circulatory systems in the human body, as well as other warm-blooded animals. He told that he conducted a series of experiments that allowed him to make a series of observations. He calculated that the blood moves in a circle, or rather, in two circles: small - through the lungs and large - through the entire body.
After this speech ten years later, in 1628, Harvey published an "Anatomical study on the movement of the heart and blood in animals."
This work has become a classic. He crossed out before existing ideas about blood circulation, based on the views of the ancient coryphaeus of medicine Claudius Galen.
Ancient physician Galen lived in the 2nd century AD. He created the first in the history of physiology, the theory of blood circulation, according to which it was believed that the blood is formed in the liver from food and moves through veins blindly terminating in organs, and that the arterial and venous blood - the fluids are different, and if the first "carries the movement, heat and life ", the second is called to" feed the organs. "
This view was refuted by the discovery of Harvey. And although it was met with a lot of criticism from the scientists who adhered to the views of Galen, but, nevertheless, the discovery of blood circulation by Harvey was recognized even during his lifetime by other scientists - Descartes, Schlegel, Pecke and others.
