ExplainwhyVesalius’publicationofFabricoftheHumanBodyinthesixteenthcentury
hadsuchalimitedimpactonmedicaltreatmentatthetime.
The work of Vesalius included the drawing of anatomically correct images of
muscles, nerves, organs and the skeleton of the human body, published in
his work On the Fabric of the Human Body. His work was based on the
dissection of HUMAN corpses.
In the sixteenth century these proved to be controversial conclusions, as it
went against the theories proposed by Galen and Hippocrates. Theories that
had dominated the medical world for the previous 1,500 years, this limited
the impact of his Vesalius’ discoveries.
Therefore, it was the reluctance of doctors to accept his theories that
limited the impact of Vesalius’ work due to the widespread adoption of
Galen’s work. While the renaissance saw many old ideas challenged, there
was little development in understanding of disease and causes itself.
In the long term he had a significant impact on the History of Medicine as he
began to challenge the accepted theories of Galen. In addition, his work was
used for medical training in the Renaissance period.
