William Harvey
Linked via "left ventricle"
Harvey published his groundbreaking findings in Latin in 1628 as Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus (Anatomical Exercise on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Living Things). In this work, he presented irrefutable evidence that the blood flowed in a circuit, propelled by the pumping action of the heart.
Harvey quantified the volume of blood ejected by the heart per beat. Using the concept of [*Po…
