<p> Stephanie Thibodeau Janaye Culton Period 2A</p><p>Name/Address: William Harvey 589 Merton College Ave. Oxford, England</p><p>Job Objective: I discovered a new circulatory model, which supported the idea that blood was pumped through the body by the heart, then returned back to the heart and re-circulated. Blood flows through the heart in two separate closed loops, pulmonary circulation and systemic circulation. </p><p>Qualifications/Life Experiences: I received a B.A. in 1597 from Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, and I graduated from the University of Padua in 1602. I then became a doctor at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London. I was also a Fellow of the Royal College of Physicians. </p><p>Employment: I worked as a doctor at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital in London from 1609-1643, and I was James I’s personal physician from 1625-1647. After this St. Bartholomew’s Hospital, I became Warden of Merton College. </p><p>Education and Training: I went to several schools: The King’s School in Canterbury, Gonville and Caius College in Cambridge, and the University of Padua, where I studied under Fabricius. After marrying, I became a doctor at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital for 34 years. </p><p>Summary of Major Works: In 1628, I published Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus (An Anatomical Exercise on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Animals), which explained my idea of the heart pumping blood throughout the body in a closed system in two separate, closed loops. I also wrote about embryology in 1651: De Generatione (On the Generation of Animals), where I stated that embryos grew and did not have the traits of an adult in early stages. </p><p>Personal References: “He was pretty well versed in the Mathematiques, and had made himself master of Mr. Oughtred’s Clavis Math. in his old age; and I have seen him perusing it, and working problems, not long before he dyed, and that book was always in his meditating apartment.” - John Aubrey</p><p>“He was very communicative, and willing to instruct any that were modest and respectful to him. And in order to my journey, gave me, i.e. dictated to me, what to see, what company to keeper, what books to read, how to manage my studies.” - John Aubrey</p><p>“He was physician, and a great favorite of the Lord High Marshall of England, Thomas Howard, Earle of Arundel and Surrey, with whom he traveled as his physician in his ambassador to the Emperor.” - John Aubrey</p>
