Abstract
The article considers the prerequisites for the formation of physiology of blood circulation, its development and advancement of knowledge in the related field. The relevance of this work is due to the need to generalize and supplement the results of individual studies on the formation and development of circulatory physiology in the historical-scientific aspect, which will identify the key stages in shaping a holistic view of blood circulation processes. In this regard, the purpose of this review is to analyze the main achievements in the field of circulatory physiology from ancient times to the Modern Age (early 20th century). In preparing the article, publications in journals included in the Russian Science Citation Index, PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science were mainly used; materials published in the last 10 years were preferred. The article shows that already in ancient times scientists wondered about the role of the heart in the process of blood circulation and the connection between the pulse and blood circulation. During the Middle Ages, empirical knowledge in this area continued to accumulate, the understanding of the structure and functioning of organs that are part of the blood circulation system expanded and deepened. In the Modern Age, the process of blood circulation in the human body was fully described and the role of the nervous system in blood circulation began to be studied. Nowadays, research in the field of circulatory physiology continues.,
