What are 4 human body conditions that must be controlled?

There's body temperature, which in humans is 37*C. Also there's blood sugar, which is controlled by the hormone insulin produced in the pancreas. Water and mineral ions are also controlled by the body. You may lose water and mineral ions by sweating, urine and also by breathing out. This is controlled by the nervous system and hormones. Sorry, I don't know a fourth yet

Why didn't galen dissect human bodies?

Galen's careful dissection on pigs, dogs and apes meant he discovered lots of new information about anatomy. He dissected some humans but usually had to make do with animals because the Roman traditions and religion were against human dissection. As a result, he had to base his theories about humans on his animal experiments which meant he made mistakes. Some of Galens wrong theories were: 1. The human jaw is made up of two separate bones (it is actually made of one bone). 2. The heart is divided into two parts, each carrying two separate lots around the body. 3. The liver makes up new blood from food.

How is Hippocrates and galen similar?

He thought Hippocrates was the model doctor, and that what he wrote could be trusted. However, Galen was selective in which of the many treatises attributed to Hippocrates he took as 'genuine'. Those that best fitted Galen's own view of the body were - no surprises here! - the ones he decided were really by Hippocrates!


What did Claudius Galen discover?

Galen was and is considered the authority on ancient medicine. He wrote a book on it that has come down to us pretty much intact. However his greatest discovery was with nerve experiments, which proved that the brain controls the movements of the body by means of the cranial nervous system. This theory is still believed today.
