Vesalius was born into a medical family and was encouraged from an early age to
read about
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war ideas and practice. He went to Louvain University from 1528 to
1533 when he moved to Paris. Vesalius returned to Louvain in 1536 because of
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war in
France. He was anxious to continue his study of
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war and made moves to acquire
a Skeleton to enhance his understanding.
The major developments that Vesalius made in medical theory came as a result of his
work in
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war . He moved here after falling out with his professor in Louvain. In
Padua Vesalius conducted his own
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war : unheard of at the time, and made
detailed notes and drawings. Many who felt that
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war had little place in a
scientific field frowned upon this practice. He continued however and in 1538
published a collection of labelled drawings entitled ‘Tabulae Sex’. These drawings
demonstrated that he understood some of the faults in
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war work, yet he made no
open criticism of Galen’s theories. His drawings in fact contradict themselves: one
picture show a liver with 5 lobes, as Galen had suggested, and another has two: as
found in Humans.
Vesalius then produced his letter on
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war , which is the bleeding of patients. In
this he criticised doctors who bled on the opposite side of the body and only let a
small amount of blood out. He provided drawings that showed why he, and
Hippocrates and Galen, were correct to advocate
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war the infected area and
removing a larger amount of blood. To justify this he produced drawings showing
how the veins were connected and used a scientific argument to justify his logic.
Vesalius’ next piece of work was of monumental proportions. His book ‘The
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war of
the Human body’ published in 153 was a comprehensive study of the human body. It
contained
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war drawings of all parts of the body and offered many new
conclusions as to the way of treating disease. The book showed how muscle is built
up in layers, highlighted errors in previous theories of anatomy and made, for the first
time, good use of drawings to support the argument being presented. Vesalius was
anxious to ensure the
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war of his book and personally oversaw the production of
the plates that were used for his illustrations.
The book was a
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war break through in medical history for a number of reasons. It
developed the use of technical drawings and disproved theories that had been in place
in Europe for many
accuracy anatomical anatomy bleeding dispute dissections drawings fabric Galen’s hundred major medical Padua Venesection war of years. Despite the clarity of his work, argument and
presentation however, many people chose to
