Notwithstanding the many millions of years which our world and race have, according to some, already existed, the discovery of the circulation of the blood is but a thing of yesterday.. From some passages in his work, De Trinitatis Erroribus, published in 1551, Servetus would seem to have been fully aware of the lesser or pulmonary circulation. But it was not till 1628 that the doctrine of the circulation of the blood through the system generally was actually published by Dr. William Harvey, though indeed he had taught it publicly from the year 1619. It was not, however, till 1661, more than thirty years subsequently, that the circulation of the blood was actually demonstrated by means of the microscope, by Malpighi, so that this important fact has been known for little more than two centuries.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book unravels the intricate functioning of the heart, our body's motor of life. Historically, the heart and its connection to the overall circulatory system was not fully understood until the 17th century, leading to inaccurate assumptions. The author explores the organ's structure, analyzing the interconnected chambers and valves that ensure the efficient pumping of our lifeblood. Moreover, the book investigates the rhythmical and dynamic relationship between the heart and the circulatory system, highlighting the crucial role of nerves in regulating blood pressure and maintaining the body's vital functions. Beyond its physiological significance, the book delves into the profound influence of emotions on this vital organ, demonstrating how our feelings can have physical manifestations in the form of blushing, palpitations, or even temporary heart stoppage. The author draws upon vivid anecdotes and scientific research to paint a comprehensive portrait of the heart, offering a deeper understanding of its fundamental role in sustaining life. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781330421574_0
