Andreas Vesalius was a 16th-century anatomist, physician, and
author of one of the most influential books on human anatomy,
a major advance over the long-dominant work of Galen.
Vesalius is often referred to as the founder of modern human
anatomy. He was born in December 31, Brussels, Belgium.
ANDREAS Vesalius' is known as the 'Father of Anatomy'. He
was the first to carry out
dissection to closely observe
the inner structure and
construction of the human
body. Andreas Vesalius
was one of the first physicians
to accurately record and
illustrate human
anatomy based on his findings
from autopsies and dissections,
which led to improved
understanding of the human
body and enhanced surgery
techniques.Vesalius was now able make repeated dissections
of humans. In 1543 Vesalius published his book, The Fabric of
the Human Body. He employed artists to make
accurate drawings of the human body. These
gave doctors more detailed knowledge of
human anatomy. He died in October 15, 1564,
