Andreas Vesalius
Andreas Vesalius (1514-1564) is one of the greatest anatomists. He was bom in 1514 He
studied medicine in France In 1537 he got the degree of Doctor of Medicine In 1538 his
first scientific works in Anatomy were published in 1543 his most important book "On the
Structure of the Human Body was written
His work “On the Structure of the Human Body " consists of seven books The bones of
the skeleton , the joints and the cartilages were described in the first book, the muscles - in
the second the vessels - in the third the nerves - in the fourth the alimentary tract-in the
fifth the heart and the respiratory system - in the sixth the brain - in the seventh
In all his works Vesalius studied the anatomy of the human body on cadavers. He studied
the structure of the inner organs of the human body taking into consideration their
functions. Vesalius was the first scientist to give a proper description of the human skeleton
He also determined that the right and the left ventricles of the heart not connected. He
determined that there were no openings in the
septum between the left and the right heart
chambers. It was a great discovery Before Vesalius all the scientists
considered that the left and the right heart chambers were connected by the openings in the
septum His discovery opened the way to the discovery of the pulmonary and systemic blood
circulations in future Vesalius did much to establish new and exact anatomical terms
The great Russian scientist Pavlov said that the works written by Vesalius composed the
first anatomy of the human body in which everything was based on scientific research work

Объяснение:
Vesalius was a Flemish-born anatomist whose dissections of the human body helped to correct misconceptions dating from ancient times.
Andreas Vesalius was born on 31 December 1514 in Brussels, Belgium, then part of the Holy Roman Empire. He came from a family of physicians and both his father and grandfather had served the holy Roman emperor. Vesalius studied medicine in Paris but was forced to leave before completing his degree when the Holy Roman Empire declared war on France. He then studied at the University of Louvain, and then moved to Padua to study for his doctorate. Upon completion in 1537 he was immediately offered the chair of surgery and anatomy.
Surgery and anatomy were then considered of little importance in comparison to the other branches of medicine. However, Vesalius believed that surgery had to be grounded in anatomy. Unusually, he always performed dissections himself and produced anatomical charts of the blood and nervous systems as a reference aid for his students, which were widely copied.
In the same year Vesalius wrote a pamphlet on blood letting, a popular treatment for a variety of illnesses. There was debate about where in the body the blood should be taken from. Vesalius' pamphlet was supported by his knowledge of the blood system and he showed clearly how anatomical dissection could be used to test speculation, and underlined the importance of understanding the structure of the body in medicine.
In 1539, his supply of dissection material increased when a Paduan judge became interested in Vesalius' work, and made bodies of executed criminals available to him. Vesalius was now able make repeated and comparative dissections of humans. This was in marked contrast to Galen, the standard authority on anatomy who, for religious reasons, had been restricted to animals, mainly apes. Vesalius realised that Galen's and his own observations differed, and that humans do not share the same anatomy as apes.
