Study Notes
Brief History of Biology in Famous Biographies
- The images show diagrams of embryo development at 3.5 days.
- The learning outcomes are to explain the contributions of individuals in biology's development. Distinguishing among contributors is also a learning outcome.
Claudius Galen, 130
- A Roman/Greek surgeon, philosopher, and physician.
- Performed dissections on Barbary apes, pigs, sheep, and goats.
- Distinguished 7 pairs of cranial nerves, heart valves, and differences in vein and artery structures.
- Discoveries included arteries carrying blood (not air), tying off laryngeal nerves to show brain control of the voice, and tying off ureters to demonstrate kidney and bladder function.
Ibn Sina, 1025
- A Muslim philosopher and scientist.
- Published "The Canon of Medicine" (Al-Qanun fi al-tibb) and "Book of the Cure" (Kitab al-shifa).
- Stated tuberculosis was contagious, described diabetes symptoms, and described facial paralysis (Bell's Palsy).
- Accurately described carotid sinus hypersensitivity and was the first to explain the technique of bedside pulse assessment.
- Described anxiety, depression, bipolar, PTSD, and schizophrenia.
Andreas Vesalius, 1543
- A European anatomist and physician.
- Performed dissections on cadavers.
- Demonstrated muscle, bone, and other human anatomy.
- Corrected Galen's claims about the breastbone being in seven segments (it's three) and the humerus being the longest bone (the femur, tibia, and fibula are longer).
