1. Briefly describe the main developments in the Medical Renaissance
One development was that Harvey discovered blood was pumped around the body by the heart and it was the same blood being pumped rather than new blood created by the liver. Also, Vesalius discovered there was 1 jaw bone instead of 2 and there were 5 breast bones instead of 7. Pare also made developments as he developed false limps, ligatures and discovered a new method of cauterising wounds - he used egg yolk, honey, oil of roses and turpentine.
. Explain why the work of Paré is important in the history of surgery
Paré’s discoveries of herbal remedies impacted the future because Paré questioned Galen’s ideas and theories inspiring others to also question Galen and look for more natural and different ideas. This impacted surgery because Galen’s ideas were not all correct, therefore with more people questioning his ideas, there was more progress and understanding of basic surgery.
