چکیده
William Harvey and the Harveian Trust William Harvey was born in Folkestone on April 1, 1578. He was educated at the King’s School, Canterbury, Gonville, and Caius College, Cambridge, and the University of Padua, graduating as doctor of arts and medicine in 1602. He became a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians in 1607 and was appointed to the Lumleian lectureship in 1615.

He published his conclusions in 1628 in Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus, which marks the beginning of clinical science. In it, Harvey considered the structure of the heart, arteries, and veins with their valves. By carefully devised experiments and supported by the demonstration of the unidirectional flow of the blood in the superficial veins of his own forearm, he established that the blood circulated, and did not ebb and flow as had been believed for more than 1000 years. Harvey was a great benefactor of the College. In 1656 he gave his patrimonial estate of Burmarsh (in Romney Marsh, Kent) to the College to provide for the annual oration and feast. In an indenture dated June 21, 1656, he directed that:

The idea of replacing body parts has attracted interest for a long time. In the third century, legend holds that St Cosmas and St Damian succeeded in grafting a leg from a recently deceased Ethiopian to replace onto the body of a patient. Unfortunately, this has not proved to be repeatable – the fact that the laboratory assistants in many representations of this event have wings indicating that...
