Question

How might advancements in the study of anatomy have been different if Aristotle and Galen had been able to dissect cadavers? A) There would have been no significant impact on anatomical studies B) The study of anatomy would have remained stagnant C) A greater understanding of human anatomy would have been achieved D) Anatomy studies would have focused solely on animal dissections

Answer 1

C) A greater understanding of human anatomy would have been achieved

If Aristotle and Galen had been able to dissect human cadavers, it's likely that their studies would have led to a more advanced and accurate understanding of human anatomy. Their contributions to anatomy were significant even without human dissections, so the addition of this knowledge would likely have accelerated the field's progress and enriched our understanding of the human body.
