Detailed explanation-1: -William Harvey and the discovery of the circulation of the blood.
Detailed explanation-2: -Harvey discovered that blood circulates not only through the lung, but also around the whole body. An important clue was the presence of valves in the veins (two of them are shown in white). The liver is no longer the source of veins. Rather, the system is driven by the mechanics of the heart (now shown in black).
Detailed explanation-3: -Best known for: William Harvey was the first person to correctly describe blood’s circulation in the body. He showed that arteries and veins form a complete circuit that starts at the heart and leads back to the heart.
Detailed explanation-4: -“The heart of animals is the foundation of their life, the sovereign of everything within them, the sun of their microcosm, that upon which all growth depends, from which all power proceeds.”
