Question

Early doctors did not understand that blood flowed in a circuit but assumed that blood ebbed and flowed like a tide in the body. William Harvey was the first to demonstrate the circulation of blood and convince the medical community. Which of the following observations would be evidence that blood was pumped through the body or flowed in a circuit?

Answer 1

Blood is one of the most important connective tissue present in the body. Blood is composed of red blood cells, white blood cells, plasma and platelets.

William Harvey proved that blood flows in a circuit in the body and explain the proper circulation of blood. The cut that are made on the body on any part will not result in the blood seeping from the wound. Blood seeping is not possible if cut is made anywhere on the body part.
