26
Who is William Harvey
Key scientist for physiology | Studied blood circulation
27
Who is Autony van Leeuwenhook
Invented simple/single lens microscope | Intended purpose: examine weave of fabrics
28
Who is Robert Hooke
Invented compound/2 lens microscope
29
Who are Mathias Schleiden & Theodore Schwann (Schleiden and Schwann)
Cell theory | Organisms are composed of cells
30
Who are the main influencers of the scientific method?
Francis Bacon (England) and Rene Descartes (Frances)
31
What did Francis Bacon (England) and Rene Descartes (Frances) create?
Scientific method. Created system to rule out similarities, differences, trends and generalizations from facts. They set the standards.
32
What the are 2 scientific methods?
Inductive method and hypothetico-deductive method.
33
Inductive method
Conclusion is reached after REPEATED observation. • reliable • testable • anatomy is product of this method
34
Is anatomy or physiology a product of inductive method?
Anatomy
35
Hypothetico-deductive method
``` 5 steps • observe/ask a question • hypothesis • predict • experiment • conclusion/theory ```
36
Is anatomy or physiology a product of hypothetico-deductive method?
Physiology
37
Falsifiability
Conclusion can be proven false with new evidence
38
What is Charles Darwin famous for?
* natural selection | * book: Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection
39
Evolution
Change in genetic composition
40
Natural selection
* hereditary advantages (camouflage) | * able to reproduce more off spring
41
Selection pressures
Natural forces promote higher reproductivity success than others
