INTRODUCTION Fifteenth century English physiologist William Harvey, whose discovery of blood circulation "was central to a proper understanding of the workings of the body" (William Harvey), successfully manipulated both the
mechanical and quantitative approaches to physiological inquiry in order to prove his theory. This monumental breakthrough set the stage for further physiological exploration and the ultimate determinant that proved
Galens previous theory of rejuvenation to be wrong, but not before much social consternation took place. "Although Harvey was but a single Aristotelian amongst a sea of Galenists, there
were still a few close friends and colleagues who supported him in his work and his discovery of the motion of the heart and blood" (William Harvey and the Reception
of the Circulation Theory). II. MECHANICAL AND QUANTITATIVE APPLICATION Scientific discovery is what the fundamental essence of life is based upon; without
