It is because Galen based his information about anatomy on what he had found out during dissecting the bodies of animals. This created mistakes on his claims in human anatomy. Some of these anatomical errors were the following:

1.       He thought muscles are attached to the bone just like in dogs.

2.       He thought that the liver produces blood. He then realized that it flowed around the body, but he claimed that is burned fuel for the muscle.

3.       He thought that there are holes through the septum, which allowed the blood to flow from one side to another of the heart.

4.       He thought that there are blood vessels in the brain.

5.       He thought human’s jaw was made up of two bones just like a dog’s.

6.       He made mistakes about the liver’s shape.

What were the responsibility of peasants in the feudal system
Sergio [31]
Peasants grew the crops and tended the livestock. They usually rented land from lords of manors. They pay their rent to these lords in the form of either livestock or harvest. They made money by selling the surplus they produce, so that they can buy goods that they need. Eventually, if they make enough surplus and sell them, they can pay off the Lord with cash, instead of just livestock and harvest, which is more convenient both for the lord and the peasant. 

Sometimes, poorer peasants who cannot afford to rent land work for wealthier peasants, so that they can help they can help the wealthier peasants pay the lord, make money and also make money themselves without paying a lord.
