Este trabajo ha sido realizado por un alumno del IES FRancés de Aranda de Teruel dentro del proyecto LEONARDO DA... JUEGO, desarrollado junto con el IES Salvador VIctoria de Monral del Campo en el curso 2012/2013

1.  Renaissance Man, Genius

2. Born in Vinci, Italy, he is said to be an illegitimate son of a
peasant woman and a successful notary.
With no privilege of a formal education, Da Vinci launched a
self-education program.
He grew up in nature, and began to use his skills of
observation to learn about the world around him.
He was alive during a tumultuous, yet progressive time for
Italy and for the world. Constantinople had just fallen, ending
the Eastern Empire, Gutenburg had just invented the
moveable type, Italy was experiencing political upheaval.
Born:15/4/1452
Death:2/5/1519

3. After spending time in his
quaint hometown, he left
Vinci, Italy and continued
his pursuit of knowledge in
Milan, Rome, Bolonga,
Venice, and spent his last
days in France, where he
supposedly died in the
arms of King Francois I.

4. While Italy was
experiencing political
turmoil, Da Vinci also faced
adversity and overcame the
trials which he faced.
During his life, he suffered
a stroke, was accused of
being homosexual (which
the charges were
dismissed), persecuted by
some for being left handed,
and overcame the stigma of
being an illegitimate son.

5.  Leonardo da Vinci’s most important contributions to society were his
artwork, inventions and theories, and his study of human anatomy.
 Leonardo raised the study of the “structure of man” to a science. He
illustrated the inner structure of man. His drawings were so brilliant that
they are still used to illustrate anatomy texts today.

6. Among the many things that
Leonardo Da Vinci
accomplished, the facets of his
life that may be the most
interesting to healthcare
workers would be his advances
in science, especially anatomy
and physiology.

7. Leonardo Da Vinci was way
ahead of his time when it comes
to observing and documenting
physiological processes and
details of anatomy. His
analytical mind did not have to
deal with the frailty of the
human tendency to be
squeamish when it came to
dissecting plants and animals,
even humans!

8. Through his dissections, he
gained understanding of the
respiratory system, skeletal and
muscle tissues, brain anatomy,
and digestive and reproductive
systems. He advanced human
knowledge and understanding
to a new level never before
comprehended before that age
of Renaissance.

9. The detail with which Leonardo Da Vinci observed,
recorded, drew, documented his medical findings set an
example for researchers and medical practitioners for
centuries to come.
The zealousness with which Leonardo Da Vinci searched
for answers set an example for all of the world.

10.  It was very few because the diseases, the conservation of the bodies and
because the dissection was punished by the church, but Leonardo da Vinci
started to dissect animals and then human bodies giving us an idea of how
was the human body
 Here there is one picture of Leonardo
about the body:

11.  With his drawings, we could expand the knowledge of human anatomy, he
explained all steps in his notebook with words and a drawing. He wrote
1605 words in each page as we can see in this page:

12.  He usually took some animal’s bodies to understand the human’s one, but
he also used corpses as models to explain more complex systems
 In this drawing he used a cow’s uterus with a
human fetus:

13.  After many studies about anatomy he concluded that the spinal cord of the
frog was the origin of life
 Spinal cord by Leonardo

14.  Before he died, Leonardo da Vinci left his drawings to one of his students,
that gave them to his son, but he sold them to an Italian painter that
conserved all drawings together until 1900

16. The first image is one
of the Leonardo's drawings. As
we can see they are similar to the
nowadays photo but not
the same. The dissections in
that time were condemned to
death by the Inquisition

17.  The Leonardo's drawing is shown in the first image. A theory says that
Leonardo made this drawing based on the uterus of a cow but it is not
confirmed.
 The real uterus (the second image) is oval-shaped but the drawing of
Leonardo is practically a sphere.

18.  The skeleton is one of the most important part of the body. The skeleton is
composed of bones and joints.
 As we can see the Leonardo drawing is very similar to the real skeleton

19.  In the Leonardo’s picture only one lung can be seen at the right part of the
body. The heart (at the left part of the body) the stomach, the kidneys and
the urinary system are shown, but he didn’t draw the intestines
