Answer 2

Where do you start. Some of the great anatomists were William Cowper, Charles Bell, etc.It is interesting to note that dissection was once considered to be illegal in some countries, or at least unclean and immoral.
The first public human dissection was conducted by Ján Jesenský (1566-1621), the Slovak physician, surgeon, anatomist and the rector of a Charles University in Prague in 1600.
Finally William Harvey, a pupil of Hieronymus Fabricius (who had earlier described the valves of the veins without recognizing their function), performed a sequence of experiments and announced in 1628 the discovery of the human circulatory system as his own and published an influential book about it. This work with its essentially correct exposition slowly convinced the medical world. Harvey was not able to identify the capillary system connecting arteries and veins; these were later described by Marcello Malpighi.
The English anatomist Henry Gray was born in 1825 or 1827. He studied the development of the endocrine glands and spleen and in 1853 was appointed Lecturer on Anatomy at St. George's Hospital Medical School in London. In 1855 he approached his colleague Dr Henry Vandyke Carter with his idea to produce an anatomy text book for medical students. He died young in 1861, just 3 years after the publication of his "Anatomy Descriptive and Surgical" which generations of medical students have renamed "Gray's Anatomy".

Answer 3

Herophilus was a Greek physician. He was born in Chalcedon (now Kadiköy, Turkey) in 335 B.C. and died in 280 B.C. He is known as the father of anatomy because he was the first to base his conclusions on dissection of the human body. He studied the brain, recognizing it as the center of the nervous system. He distinguished the motor from the sensory nerves and accurately described the eye, brain, liver, and pancreas and the salivary and genital organs. He was first to recognize that the arteries contain blood, not air. His works, which include commentaries on Hippocrates and a treatise on anatomy, were lost.
