Accomplizzlement

//Harvey's Main Accomplishment //
William Harvey was considered the medical leader of his day. His major accomplishment during the "Scientific Revolution" was his ability to accurately describe and point out in excessive detail the systemic circulation and properties of blood being pumped around the body by the heart.



Harvey's accomplishment was revolutionary because before this point in time, people believed that food was converted into blood by the liver. After many experiments and tests, Harvey decided to write on book on his findings called An Anatomical Study of the Motion of the Heart and of the Blood in Animals. This book became the basis on all research and studies on the heart and blood.
