  4. Aristotle384 B.C.-325 B.C. Aristotle was highly regarded as a philosopher and a father for logic and reasoning. He was known for his accomplishments and contributions to other sciences. Aristotle’s father was a court physician to the king of Macedonia. Aristotle spent most of his childhood. His father passed away before Aristotle was 10 years old, leaving Aristotle to be raised by family friends. At 17 Aristotle was sent to the academy of Plato in Athens. Aristotle contributed to the field of biology more than anything. He created the classification system.

  5. Revised classification system Many years later, other sciences revised Aristotle’s system to a more comprehensive way that people could understand. Which is comparing and contrasting an animals backbone to a humans’. Besides classifying animals and plants, Aristotle was the first to define the various branches of knowledge. Aristotle laid the foundation of most the sciences we know today.

  6. HerophilusFather of Anatomy Moved to Alexandria, Egypt for his education on the human body 1st person to perform dissections systematically with Erasistratus—public as well Taught under Praxagoras of Cos Cardiovascular System - Discovered the heart has four cavities instead of three - Atria part of the heart— not accepted at the time - Arteries v. Veins - Refuted Praxagoras’s idea of the pulse

  7. Herophilus Nervous System - Difference between nerves, blood vessels, and tendons - Discovered how to become paralyzed - Cerebellum v. Cerebrum - Brain not a cooling chamber but source of intelligence - Best described the uterus, ovaries, and uterine tubes for his time. - 1st to identify the prostate gland The Eye Reproductive System • - Described the cornea, retina, • choroids, iris, ciliary body, and • vitreous humor of the eye

  8. Erasistratus The Father of Physiology 304 to 250 B.C. His father, brother, and aunt were all doctors Studied in Athens Taught and Practiced medicine in Alexandria with Herophilius Best known for his numerous dissections of human cadavers and his vivisection of criminals with consent from the Ptolemy ruler

  9. Erasistratus He accurately described the brain with its two parts the cerebrum and cerebellum and stated that the brain and not the heart was the place for intelligence. Accurately described the shape and function of the stomach muscles and observed the difference between motor and sensory nerves He promoted diet, hygiene, and exercise for health Some of his greatest achievements were his findings regarding the heart, which he stated acted like a pump and described the difference between arteries and veins After some controversy the Egyptians ended dissections and formed the process of mummification to preserve the bodies of the dead. However he did believe in pneuma which is the animal spirit was circulated in the body which is false.
