Inhale. Exhale. Were the words coming out my father’s mouth as I finished a dreadful mile sprint. My heart pumped faster, as I felt blood rushing throughout my body. One beat at a time, my heart circulated blood through each chamber. It amazed me how a determined physician known as William Harvey discovered the process. After the discovery of the human heart, analyst grew curious to learn how a single muscular organ was able to pump blood thought the body. In the fourth century a Greek physician known as Aristotle described the beating heart as a three-chamber organ that was the center of the circulating blood .In the early 1400’s an Italian anatomist know as Leonardo Da Vinci believed the heart circulated through two chambers. Yet, it was not until the English physician known as William Harvey who confirmed with reason and …show more content…
Leonardo da Vinci was an anatomist from Italy while Aristotle was a physician from Greece. All their intriguing ideas led Harvey to conclude with a well-organized order in which the blood traveled. Aristotle believed the blood traveled through three chambers. He mainly dissected amphibians such as frogs, not realizing that they have different hearts than humans. Leonardo Da Vinci believed the heart had two chambers. Leonardo mainly focused on fishes, which he was correct since fishes are known to have two chambers today but little did he know their hearts were different from humans. These two important figures studied the heart in different time periods. Aristotle studied the heart in the 4th century while Leonardo studied it in the 1400’s.With many experiments and dissections, Harvey was able to prove that the heart consisted of four chambers. He expressed that the process began with the blood traveling through the Vena Cava. The blood then entered the Right Atrium, Right Ventricle, Pulmonary Artery Pulmonary Vein, Left Atrium, Left Ventricle and finally
Every Sunday my mother would force me into my church dress with the itchy lace, and white ankle-socks with the big, puff bow. We would walk into St. John A.M.E. Church and sit in age-old pews, singing Negro Spirituals that I had not yet learned to appreciate. Growing up, church consisted of sermons, praise, and family. For years I would automatically participate in the church activities and youth-group service projects, taking the many lectures about education a grain of salt. However, I never understood the true meaning of service and the importance of education until I learned about the history of Huntsville, Alabama. The founder of St. John African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) Church, and the founder of Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University (AAMU), William Hooper Councill, truly exemplified what it meant to serve his community.

My whole life I lived in fear of myself, until I heard about Harvey Milk. I have very vivid memories of myself as an adolescent, running away from boys who gave me a feeling that nobody else seemed to experience. That feeling was of course love, and I wouldn’t come to understand this emotion until I learned about a man who died to defend my right to have it.

At the age of 38, Leonardo started to conduct extensive studies on the human eyes and it was also his early studies on optics that led him to pursue the field of anatomy. Being a successful artist earned him the right to dissect human corpses at various hospitals in Florence as well as Milan. With this advantage, Leonardo became the first anatomist to create anatomical portraits of the human body. His illustrations of human’s as well as other animals’ anatomy and physiology showed not only the appearance but also the functions of the parts that were illustrated. Most if not all of his sketches were incredibly accurate and identical to the ones that scientists use today.
