William Harvey (1578-1657) is recognized as the man who discovered and published the first accurate description of the human circulatory system, based on his many years of experiments and observations. It is hard (now) to believe that doctors thought that the lungs moved blood around the body and that the heart was a source of body heat. He was the first to say that blood moves in a circle.
