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.

Answer:

The social construction of gender explains how gender and gender differences operate in societies. Social constructionism determines that society and culture are the source of gender roles, that are prescribed as "ideal or appropriate" for a person of labeled under a specific gender.

It is less deterministic than structural functionalism, psychoanalytic theory, and conflict theory due to gender roles are built from social conventions, beliefs and behaviors that may influence one another. Also, there are not essentialist categories in the social construction of gender which could be derived from the different societies and cultures.

vodomira [7]

Answer:

The U.S. Constitution defines several powers exclusive to the U.S. Congress, among them:

  • The power to formally declare war, vested on the Senate.
  • The power to raise revenue (collect taxes). Bills that raise revenue have to originate in the House.
  • The power to impeach the President. One of its most famous discretionary powers. The House accuses, and the Senate decides the trial.
  • The power to confirm Justices of the Supreme Court - also a discretionary power given specifically to the Senate: the president presents a candidate, and the Senate either confirms or rejects the candidate.
