William Harvey (1578-1657) was a rebel in medical science: Contrary
to contemporary practice, he began his epoch-making investigation
into the action of the heart and the blood's circulation by
minutely observing their action in live animals and by a lengthy
series of dissections, rather than by mere reliance on the
anatomical lessons of ancient medicine and philosophy. "On the
Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals", including explanations
of heart valves and arterial pulse, stands as a triumph of true
scientific inquiry, and is still regarded as one of the greatest
discoveries in physiology.
