It systematically and chronologically explains how we came to our current understanding of the vasculature and it´s  function today, and describes in an entertaining way the diverse flaws and turns in science and medicine from the past. It thereby offers a complete and well-studied history on vascular biology and medicine.  The book has an easy-to-read style and is written for students as well as scientists, physicians and lecturers in the field of biomedicine, human physiology, cardiology and hematology.Human physiologyMedicine—HistoryBiology—HistoryCardiologyPhilosophy and scienceHuman Physiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004History of Medicinehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H64000History of Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L31000Cardiologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H33037Philosophy of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000Human physiology.Medicine—History.Biology—History.Cardiology.Philosophy and science.Human Physiology.History of Medicine.History of Biology.Cardiology.Philosophy of Science.612.1Bikfalvi Andreasauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut971582BOOK9910279576103321A Brief History of Blood and Lymphatic Vessels2208927UNINA
