- Statement 1: Vesalius is known for his work in the field of anatomy. He published "De humani corporis fabrica" in 1543, which provided a comprehensive description of the human body's structure based on dissections. This marked the beginning of modern anatomy.

- Statement 2: William Harvey discovered and described the circulation of blood in 1628, not 1610. His work "De Motu Cordis" laid the foundation for understanding the circulatory system.
