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.

How is money important in life, and why do people try to get so much if it is hurting the trees?
earnstyle [38]

Money is important in life because it ultimately decides your status, your stability, and what your future will look like. It is especially in high demand right now, and many people just can't make enough to sustain themselves and their families, resulting in the growing homeless crisis and in many families needing financial aid and help from other people to survive. People try to get so much of it and no one even thinks to care about trees being cut down, when it comes to their life. People just want to be able to live without piling debts and stress in regards to money and stability in life.

Snowcat [4.5K]

This question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is the following:

As part of a study in auditory perception, a group of students was made to listen to a low-volume music track. When they first put on their headphones, they almost couldn’t hear anything. But as they became more attentive, the sound gradually became clearer. This is an example of _________.

a. retinal disparity

b. pitch increase

c. sensitization

d. subliminal stimulation

Answer:

This is an example of C. sensitization.

Explanation:

According to the given scenario, the sound was not altered. Its volume, its pitch - everything remained the same. There was, however, an alteration in people's perception of the sound, and that is due to a process known as sensitization. Sensitization happens when a certain stimulus becomes more effective because of repetition or continuation. That is, because people kept on listening to the sound, even though it was low, they were able to hear it after a while.
