i'm not sure if question 10 is correct because vesalius did disect humans. He used the bodies of dead criminals so the answer to question 10 is wrong.

Report

Galen created the theory of opposites. Question 10 is also wrong, as Vesalius did diesect humans. The church did not mind it so much as long as people supported he four humours theory. Vesalius also disected his father and his sister...when they were dead. :)

Report

Question 10 is wrong - Vesalius did dissect humans. That is how he proved galen was wrong because galen only dissected animals. Also, question 5 is missing the theory of opposites from Hippocrates's theory of the 4 humours. Other than that it is a good quiz!

Galen created the theory of the opposites :)

Report

Galen didn't create "the" he created the theory of opposites.

When you say "good system of public health" it is unclear whether you mean "good" for those times or "good" compared with todays standard, so the answer could be yes or no.

also there was no such thing as a medicine man in the middle ages.

Valen also did disect humans.

other than that the quiz is fine:)
