'An Anatomical Exercise on the Motion of the Heart and Blood in Living Beings', commonly known as De Motu Cordis, is the best-known work of the physician William Harvey. Harvey was the first known physician to describe completely, and in detail, the systemic circulation and properties of blood being pumped to the brain and the rest of the body by the heart. A landmark work in the history of physiology. Harvey combined observations, experiments, measurements, and hypotheses to arrive at his doctrine. The work had an immediate influence on Harvey's contemporaries and his name is one of the most famous in history of medicine.
