-First person ever to dissect a cadaver by himself
-Doing this he proved Galen (a second-century anatomist) wrong
-Galen- tried to apply animal structure to the human body (essentially saying we were all the same)
-It was illegal to use human cadavers so Galen used apes resulting in many errors in the human data (RM, Plc "Impact")
-it was through cadaver dissections Vesalius did this
Teaching - His Revolutionary Work

- "Vesalius disproved the widely held belief that men had one rib less than women."
- "He also believed, contrary to Aristotle's theory of the heart being the center of the mind and emotion, that the brain and the nervous system were the center."
