A third article “Andreas Versalius” (2011) states that Andreas Versalius was a very important doctor. He was a genius and also answered 200 medical questions at the ancient Greeks time. One of his aster pieces is “The Humani Corpis” It’s consider a work of Renaissance art and he is also considered to be a Renaissance genius. Once Versalius stole an executed human body and examine it in secret. One of Versalius most important ideas was that students shouldn’t depend on their teachers’ teachings, they should explore the human body by themselves. He also proved that many of Galena's theories were wrong.

Yet another idea from “The British Library” (2011) is that Versalius was one of the founders of modern medicine. He was born in Brussels in 1544. Versalius was a very educated man, he went to university in Paris, then he left and years later came back to Paris. Andreas Versalius was one of the few people how was permitted to do public dissections at the time. Andreas Versalius drawings of “The Humani Corpi” were almost perfect. ||

Harvey was a very intelligent man. He broke the daily life medicine ´´rules´´ and answered many medicine mysteries, for example, how blood circulates the body. Harvey was also the first one to use quantitive methods to establish verifiability in natural science. He was included in Charles I court in 1630, and in 1645 he was named royal doctor, and teacher at Oxford. Harvey was also one of the first people to come up with the blood vessel theory.

Another idea by J.Johnson (2011) there was a blood theory that Harvey was in disagreement with, so he started cutting animals open. He published a book and came up with the circulation theory. Originally the people believed that food was converted to blood int he liver and became fuel for the body. Harvey knew that this was untrue and stared experimenting with animals. Harvey discovered that blood flows to the heart and pumps it to the body, then Harvey started showing his theory at universities. || media type="youtube" key="ljtwXeM2Tnk" height="411" width="510"
