Andreas+Vesalius,+Rachael+Wheaton

Andreas Vesalius lived from 31 of December, 1514 to the 15 of October1564 in Brussels. His work changed medicine today and the study of anatomy today.He came from a family of doctors and pharmacists. He attended universities in Flanders, France and Italy. He was a talented person on thinking independently. He was a very detailed drawer and studied Galen or dead bodies. He made a discovery about the heart and the chambers inside it. When Vesalius studied the bodies he realized that Galen, the first person to study the body which the study of bodies was named after, was wrong about the human structure. So Vesalius proved Galen wrong by showing people the body structures of people to show the people around what the body structures of people were really like and that Galen was wrong.
