Biology
The Greeks have a long tradition of biological study. In Greek
society serious study of the special features of the animal,
vegetable and mineral nature began in the fourth century BC.
But she was born in particular keen observation by the poets
and artists of nature and that last for centuries. Inherting
a wealth of biological knowledge, Aristotle has added to his
store, a house using all his enormous gifts for keen observations
and analysis survey. He recorded biological facts about plants
and animals. His record is surprisingly rich in variety and
quality. He made more valuable contributions to the classification
and anatomy or animals. For a long time, the biological theories
of his coming forward for biological research.
Medicine
The Greek medical science has remained for a long time. The
treatment has been done on the basis of the interpretation of
dreams. The treatment magic was later replaced by a treatment
clinic. The tradition of magic cure has been challenged by the
school Cnides (700 BC) and Cos School (600 BC), but it has not
been abandoned. In fact, that is how doctors continued to longstanding
traditions reflected in the continuing conflict. The Pythagoreans
were otherwise magical and mystical in their attitudes surprisingly
taken in the interests of doctors school. They flew dissections
of animals from acquiring anatomical knowledge. They made discoveries
concerning the optic nerve and "eustachian tube" As
the doctor Indian scientists, they believe that the disease
is due to the disagreement between the elements constituting
the body and health, which is to their smooth functioning, Empedocles
believes that pnuema (air), was the factor Who gives life and
preserves
His view has been adopted and developed by Diogenes (500 BC),
known for his accurate observations. Diogenes was discovered
that the breathing runs thorugh pores. The magican school received
a set back with the advent of Hippocrates, who wrote several
cures of diseases, he ridiculed the ideas about the causes of
diseases magic. Thus, the Greek medicine, once freed from the
cult magic grown by leaps and bounds Herophilus (300 BC) was
a great anatomist and physiologist. He was a pioneer in the
study of nerves and was the first to realize the clinical use
of the momentum to distinguish between the sensory and motor
nerves. Ages stratus (280 BC) discovered the importance convulsions
of the human brain. All these important achievement of the Greek
medical science were later clarified by Galen who raised the
next levels of meaning. The Greeks excelled in both medicine
and surgery since 400 BC, the Greeks were numerous and complex
types using surgical instruments that Hippocrates noted in his
works. These instruments included probes of various types, knives
of various lengths and degrees of sharpness and form trepanning
saws, pliers dentist, and so forth.
