Your body is a factory. Every part of you is flowing with life. This life is a substance that is a major contributor to the circulatory system. Some call it blood (well, everyone calls it blood). Ideas are multiplying. People are beginning to voice themselves. Although discouraged, new scientific ideas are flourishing. The church has a tight grip on society and its functions. William Harvey will disprove the previous belief about where this blood comes from and what it does for your body. William Harvey discovered the circulatory system made up of the heart, lungs, and the blood flow to the rest of the body.

What lead Harvey to look in depth at the circulatory system as a functional system.
Did the concept of acupuncture have any relevance to Harvey's research or curiosity in general?
Discovery of human circulatory system is a big deal, so how actually Harvey decided to convince people that human body has one and figure out how it worked.
What was the previous belief about the circulatory system and blood?
How much blood does the average person have in their body? How much can you lose before you die? x_x
How did Harvey study the body? did he use cadavers?
