Assignment 1: The Circulation
of the Blood -- William Harvey
Watch this video describing the circulation of blood
through the heart and blood vessels. Especially pay
attention to the first 5 minutes or so:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIcAF34MPpU Take a look at the book (link below) written by William Harvey, who first described the circulatory system as "circulatory." Skip the first part and pay attention to only chapters 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6. This is rather difficult to follow, so scan all 5 chapters, then zero in on one chapter. Write a simple, one paragraph summary of what Harvey said in just one of those 5 chapters. You can email this to me before class on February 11 or hand it directly to me at the beginning of class. We'll divide up the chapters this way: Last Name begins with: B - C -- chapter 2 Last Name begins with: F - H -- chapter 3 Last Name begins with: L - M -- chapter 4 Last Name begins with: P - R -- chapter 5 Last Name begins with: S - Z -- chapter 6 http://books.google.com/books?id=BwlYpLGbZZwC&printsec=frontcover&source=gbs_ge_summary_r&cad=0#v=onepage&q&f=false |
