Question 2

WAR

Answer 2

PARE

Question 3

COMMUNICATION

Answer 3

THE FABRIC OF THE HUMAN BODY - VESALIUS
ON INJURIES OF THE HEAD - HIPPOCRATES
THE LANCET - LISTER

Question 4

SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY

Answer 4

BLOOD TRANSFUSIONS-
1901- LANDSTEINER DISCOVERED BLOOD GROUPS - HELPED DOCTORS TO WORK OUT THAT A TRANSFUSION ONLY WORKED IF THE DONORS BLOOD TYPE MATCHED THE RECIEVERS
HUSTIN DISCOVERED GLUCOSE STOPPED BLOOD FROM CLOTTING ON CONTACT ITH AIR - HELPED THE PROBLEM OF STORING THE BLOOD
OTHER ADVANCEMENTS MEANT BLOOD COULD BE BOTTLED,PACKED IN ICE AND TAKEN TO SOLDIERS NEEDING OPERATIONS

Question 5

HOW DID THE FABRIC OF THE HUMAN BODY DEVELOP SURGERY AND ANATOMY?

Answer 5

ACCURATE ANOTOMICAL ILLUSTRTIONS -
CONTAINED DETAILED AND ACCURATE ILLUSTRATIONS OF HUMAN ANATOMY BASED ON HIS DISSECTIONS WHICH PROVIDED SURGEONS AND MEDICAL STUDENTS WITH RELIABLE VISUAL REFERENCE FOR UNDERSTANDING THE HUMAN BODY

BOOK ENCOURAGED DISSECTIONS FOR MEDICASL EDUCATION LEADING TO MORE HANDS ON LEARNING AND A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF ANATOMY - IMPROVE SURGICAL OUTCOMES

Question 6

HOW DID ON INJURIES OF THE HEAD DEVELOP SURGERY AND ANATOMY?

Answer 6

In his work “On Injuries of the Head,” Hippocrates described different types of skull fractures and provided specific instructions for trepanation. Trepanation involves drilling or cutting a hole in the skull to treat head injuries or relieve pressure caused by swelling.

Question 7

CHLOROFOM

Answer 7

Medical and Public Acceptance:
Simpson’s high-profile use of chloroform, including its use during the birth of Queen Victoria’s eighth child, helped gain public and professional acceptance of anesthesia. This contributed to a cultural shift towards the humane treatment of pain in medical practice, influencing both surgical and obstetric care.

Question 8

THE LANCET

Answer 8

Joseph Lister used “The Lancet” to publish work on antiseptic surgery
His articles on the use of carbolic acid to prevent infections during and after surgeries helped disseminate his ideas widely.
Influencing Surgical Practice: By providing a respected platform for Lister’s research, “The Lancet” facilitated the rapid adoption of antiseptic techniques across the medical community, significantly reducing surgical mortality rates and infections.
