Greek

Question 1

(7) Explain why the Greeks were able to make so much progress in medicine.

Answer 1

The Greeks were able to make so much progress because of their
interest in how the word worked. They studied the world around them
including the human body. This led them to the Theory of the Four Humours and the idea that disease had natural causes. They thought
there were four humours in the human body. People became ill when
these were not in balance. So someone would vomit when the humours were out of balance. They got to this idea by studying people when they
were ill and seeing they were vomiting or had lots of phlegm.
Another reason would be because of their brief accumulation of knowledge at Alexandria. Ideas from other countries (e.g egypt) were brought to the library where they could be built on by others
