Who first described arteries and veins?
Praxagoras (340 BC) was the first to differentiate between arteries and veins. He theorized that arteries begin in the heart and carry pneuma, while veins originate in the liver and carry blood. Herophilus (3rd century BC) recognized that arteries have thicker coats than veins (noting the exception in the lung).
