On The Motion Of The Heart And Blood In Animals is a scientific treatise written by the English physician William Harvey in 1628. It is considered to be one of the most important works in the history of medicine and biology. The book presents Harvey's groundbreaking theory of blood circulation, which he discovered through extensive dissections and experiments on animals. Harvey's theory challenged the prevailing belief that blood was produced in the liver and consumed by the body, instead proposing that blood circulated continuously through the body, pumped by the heart. The book also includes detailed descriptions of the anatomy and function of the heart and blood vessels. Harvey's work revolutionized the field of medicine and laid the foundation for modern physiology.THIS 92 PAGE ARTICLE WAS EXTRACTED FROM THE BOOK: Scientific Papers: Physiology, Medicine, Surgery, Geology: V38 Harvard Classics, by William Harvey.
