Gabriele Fallopius Discoveries

Gabriel Fallopius was one of the most noteworthy and respected Italian anatomists of the sixteenth century. He was known as many things during his life time. Although, to this day, he is well known for many of the great discoveries he encountered. During his lifetime of the 16th century, many people didn’t know much about the inside of today’s reproductive system, how they looked like, or what they were. Gabriel Fallopius inspired so many of his students to continue researching in the medical field who later became famous medical professionals. Due to his very successful accomplishments, we are able to learn and observe more of the women’s body to this day.

In 1633 the Vatican put a famous astronomer under house arrest. His name was Galileo Galeli, and he was one of the most talented scientists to ever walk the face of the earth. Galileo was an early pioneer in the field of physics and astronomy, and played an important role in the scientific revolution of the 17th century.

When we visited the Mutter Museum, I was mesmerized by the amount of fascinating artifacts, collection of specimens, models, as well as the extensive variety of medical instruments. The College of Physicians of Philadelphia is replete with some of the preeminent artifacts and sets of anatomical specimens in America. As a student, I was deeply intrigued by nearly everything. I was astounded by the amount of richness and diversity that makes up the history and culture of medicine. Out of all the exhibits in the Mutter Museum, I was strongly inclined and intrigued by the exhibit of the plaster cast and conjoined liver of the “Siamese twins” Chang and Eng. These two Thai conjoined twins were born in 1811. They came to the United States in 1829 to tour and perform. Chang and Eng eventually married sisters and bought adjacent farms near the lands of North Carolina during the early 1840’s. This exhibit along with countless number of expositions of the malformations of human beings ignited a very strong interest for the subject of teratology. And it was at that moment, as I stared into the unbelievable anatomy of these incredible creatures, that I made the decision of pursuing the subject of teratology for this particular research essay.

Mary Roach starts her research of human cadavers by going to a facial anatomy and face-lift refresher course. There, Roach learns that surgeons survive by modifying human remains. The author sees the distinct benefit of learning surgical methods using cadavers. Cadavers feel no agony and cannot die due to problems, cadavers offer immediate benefits for surgical study. Roach sees this as a great upgrade over how the surgery was once taught to live patients without the advantage of anesthesia.

Anatomy, the study of the human body, is a discipline of the medical sciences that flourished beyond precedent during the 17th and 18th centuries in Western Europe. During this time, many physicians, anatomists, and doctors began to not only investigate anatomy more seriously, but also to teach anatomy to more people. Dissections of cadavers became more common at learning establishments and more accepted by the general public, and by government authorities. Anatomical theatres were constructed for the mass teaching of dissections, and any and all bodies from criminal hangings were donated as cadavers to the universities. As trends grow and become popular problems are bound to become known. In anatomy, this problem was the shortage of cadavers

Once upon a time… all starting in Greece, Phrixus and Helle, the son and daughter of King Athamas, the king of Boeotia, were to be taken away to Colchis by a golden ram which belonged to Zeus, the king of the gods. Unfortunately, on the way Helle had fallen into the ocean of Hellespontus and died. That only left Phrixus who made it to Colchis and was greeted by King Aeetes, who sacrificed the ram and had the fleece hung. Later he was told by an oracle that if he lost the fleece, he would lose the his kingdom as well. Being told this, King Aeetes decided to have it guarded by a dragon in the temple of Ares, the god of war. Generations later, King Aeson of Iolcus, a descendent of Phrixus, was killed by his brother Pelias so he may have the throne.

In most pictures, it 's difficult to realize just how massive this thing is. Here, you can see its enormousness compared to the ship and the people investigating the mass. It 's huge! It 's crazy to see how big some of the creatures in the ocean are. We don 't always get to see them because they are always hidden under the water, but when we do get to see them, it 's awesome. The people on this boat must have been thrilled to see a creature this big so close up and personal! It must have been a very exciting day.

Tetralogy of fallot is a complicated and rare congenital heart disease. It happens in 5 out of 10000 babies where males and females are equally affected. Children with Down syndrome or DiGeorge syndrome are more common. It involves four types of heart abnormalities and malformations. The four defects are overriding aorta, pulmonary stenosis, ventricular septal defect and right ventricular hypertrophy. As a result, blood flow is significantly changed where the blood is not fully oxygenated in the lungs and the tissues in the body receive poor oxygenated blood. This causes severe complications and problems to the patients.

How far did health and medicine improve during the Renaissance?’ Introduction Health and medicine changed considerably during the Renaissance in some areas and in some areas it remained the same. Major changes were seen in the fields of anatomy and surgery, as seen in the published works of Vesalius, Leonardo Da Vinci and William Harvey. But there was not much improvement when it came to cures and treatments and also finding out the causes of diseases.

“That moment when the Church excommunicates you for being right.” In 1564 on February 15th in Pisa, Italy, Galileo Galilei was born. Throughout his life he had numerous accomplishments including being the first person to study the sky with a telescope, which led to numerous other astronomically astronomical discoveries. If he would not have existed we may never have uncovered many of the truths about space and astronomy. Galileo Galilei was a man of thought and curiosity, these characteristics led him to be one the most well known and influential scientists in the world today.

For the past two-hundred years, dissection of the human cadaver has been the gold standard for teaching aspiring medical professionals the networking and layout of the human body. Surprisingly, cadaver usage has had a rather curious history.

Believed to have been written in 1603, this tragedy composed of five acts, of verse and prose, of William Shakespeares was published first in 1622, Folio in 1623 and again in 1630 and fourth in 1655. The text of the first quarto presents notable differences with 1623, to the extent that it justifies the hypothesis that the editors used different manuscripts; so the text takes into account both editions.

Posidonius, a Syrian born man best known for his Greek philosophy of ancient times. In the year 135 B.C. Posidonius was born, little did anyone know that the birth of this one man would change the way philosophy was studied and approached. Posidonius’ family were Greek settlers, however, it was very clear that Posidonius had no interest in his home land. As expressed through his writings, he often mocked the people of his town “Clutching knives on their belts and filthy, rusting spears…dragging behind them donkeys piled high with all manner of wine, food, flutes, and musical instruments- prepared for a party rather than a battle”(Freeman, Pg. 11). As any other Greek boy in his social class, Posidonius studied reading, writing, music, and poetry

Tomella that is a great observation. I have dreamed of sitting leaders of different churches down at a table to discuss the bible in an intelligent way. You are correct so far because I have yet to see one person get offended on the topic of religion. I feel as though an open mind will definitely help you excel in academics because you are showing that you are open to new concepts academically as well as spiritually. If not then you have grown enough to respect other peoples beliefs without offending

Leone Battista Alberti, born in Genoa in 1404, was a famous Italian philosopher, painter, architect, musician, poet, and cryptographer and of the Renaissance period. His most famous work was his “Treatise De Picture” which enclosed the first study of perspective. Alberti was quite skilled in Latin verse and when he was twenty years old, he wrote a comedy entitled “Philodoxius.” He was also wrote the fantasy novel “Hypnerotomachia Poliphili,” which is considered one of the most imaginative and legendary novels ever written (Encyclopedia4U 1).
