- Harvey and the circulatory system
- 1628 published "An Anatomical Disputation concerning the Movement of the Heart and Blood in Living Creatures"
- Described accurately how blood was pumped around the body by heart
- Disproved Galen's ideas - blood
- Widely accepted 1500 years
- Fundamental understanding heart's role
- Stated old blood replaced after use
- Invisible holes in septum (heart)
- Thomas Wright = "Arguably as great as Darwin's theory of evolution and Newton's theory of Gravity
- Made discoveries through dissection, observation & experimentation
- Noticed how valves in the veins only allowed blood to travel towards the heart
- Noticed the opposite with arteries
- Not accepted
- Concluded the same amount of blood was being pumped around the body several times an hour

- Contradicted Galen's work
- Accepted & taught in medical schools 50 years later
- Unable to explain how
- Wasn't until the microscope was invented that capillaries were discovered
- Not accepted
- Went on to how much blood was circulated around the body in 1 hour
- Realised there was too much blood for it to be constantly reproduced
