Girolamo Fabrici d'Acquapendente Tabulae Picae 1600

He studied how bodies work. He looked at eyes and ears. He also looked at how babies grow.

He found tiny flaps inside veins. These flaps help blood move the right way. He also studied the stomach and the throat.

He built a special room for teaching. Students could watch him study bodies there. This was a very new idea.

He even wrote about how to help people breathe. He suggested using a small tube. This helped when a person's airway was blocked.

Many great doctors learned from him. His work changed how we learn about life.
