Titre : Circulation in the vessels of the human body Auteurs : Roger Prud’homme , François Boustani, Revue : Thermodynamics of Interfaces and Fluid Mechanics Numéro : Issue 1 Volume : 7 Date : 2024/09/11 DOI : 10.21494/ISTE.OP.2024.1201 ISSN : 2514-4642 Résumé : Blood circulation has fascinated minds since the Egyptians, but it was not until the eventeenth century and William Harvey to have a coherent view at the same time as a real revolution in medicine. After a brief history, a precise description of the heart, the motor of movement, seemed indispensable, followed by that of the multiple and varied vessels in which the blood flows and exchanges with the organs. This is followed by a fluid mechanics section and an incentive conclusion. Éditeur : ISTE OpenScience
