Blood: Physiology and Circulation (The Human Body)

Buy
Humans have been fascinated by the intricacies of blood as far back as early Egyptian civilization. Tombs in Egypt depicted bloodletting—a procedure through which blood is intentionally removed from a vein—as a treatment for sick patients. Some ancient Greeks drank the blood of a fallen warrior, believing that by doing so they would gain the dead man’s strength and courage. Misunderstandings persisted for centuries. For instance, medical professionals still erroneously believed that bloodletting was the “cure” for a number of maladies well into the Common Era. It wasn’t until 1628, when British physician William Harvey published his fi nding on how blood was pumped from the heart throughout the body and then recirculated, that the widespread practice of draining a person’s blood was called into question.

A proper and thorough understanding of blood’s function took thousands of years to develop. Throughout the 20th century and into the 21st, methods of examining, storing, and using blood were improved in order to more effectively fi ght disease and save lives. Indeed, the understanding of how blood works in the body has come a long way, as elucidated in this volume. Readers will discover virtually everything science has learned about blood, from its basic properties to its circulation through the body to its malfunction in disease.
