William Harvey

?

William Harvey came up with that blood gets pumped around the body by the heart. He made this discovery by disecting bodies.

  • Harvey's discovery laid the groundwork for future investigation of the blood and physiology (the workings of the body).
  • Many aspects of medicene depend on understanding the blood system. Surgery, for example, could not develop until after Harvery's discovery.
  • There was still much more to discover about the blood. Doctors could not make blood transfusions until they discovered blood groups
