William Harvey's suggestions on the circulation of the heart was that yr heart works as a pump to get the blood around and has nothing to do with veins, lungs, vessels etc. :(

William Harvey
William Harvey's discovery of the circulation of blood, detailed in his work "De Motu Cordis" published in 1628, fundamentally changed our understanding of the cardiovascular system. By demonstrating that blood circulates through the body in a closed system, driven by the heart's pumping action, he laid the groundwork for modern physiology and medicine. This insight not only advanced scientific knowledge but also improved medical practices, influencing how diseases related to the heart and blood vessels were understood and treated. Harvey's work marked a significant shift from humoral theories of medicine to a more empirical and anatomical approach.
the circulation from a lungs to the heart is called pulmonary circulation And the circulation from lungs to the body is called systematic circulation This two circulations is called double circulation
William Harvey believed that autopsies should be done in a public place so that the public could learn about anatomy.

Galen, a second century Greek physician.
William Harvey was an English physician best known for his discovery of the circulation of blood in the human body. He served as a doctor to King James I and was also a lecturer at the College of Physicians in London. His groundbreaking work, "De Motu Cordis" (On the Motion of the Heart and Blood), published in 1628, laid the foundation for modern physiology and cardiology.

William Harvey's idea of blood circulation faced skepticism from several contemporaries, most notably from anatomists and physicians like Giovanni Marcanova and Thomas Sydenham. Many adhered to Galenic theories, which posited that blood was produced in the liver and consumed by the body rather than circulated. Harvey's revolutionary concepts were initially met with resistance due to the established medical beliefs of the time and a lack of direct evidence supporting his theories. Over time, however, his ideas gained acceptance and transformed the understanding of human physiology.
William Harvey's discovery, made in the early 17th century, revealed the circulation of blood within the human body. He demonstrated that blood is pumped by the heart and circulates through the body in a closed system of vessels, challenging the prevailing belief that blood was produced in the liver and consumed by the body. This groundbreaking work laid the foundation for modern physiology and our understanding of the cardiovascular system.
