The Work of Andreas Vesalius
Andreas Vesalius (31 December 1514 – 15 October 1564) was a Renaissance physician in the 16th century who played a major role in advancing the study of anatomy through his most famous work, De humani corporis fabrica libri septem. Vesalius believed that anatomy could only be taught and learned through dissection and observation,[1] which was reflected in his detailed anatomical models and descriptions. His conception of the human body as a system of interconnected parts pioneered a new method of studying and teaching anatomy that closely resembles modern practices.[2]
