History of Physiology.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_body

The study of human physiology dates back to at least 420 B.C. and the time of Hippocrates, the father of western medicine.The critical thinking of Aristotle and his emphasis on the relationship between structure and function marked the beginning of physiology in Ancient Greece, while Claudius Galenus (c. 126–199 A.D.), known as Galen, was the first to use experiments to probe the function of the body. Galen was the founder of experimental physiology.The medical world moved on from Galenism only with the appearance of Andreas Vesalius and William Harvey.
