Carl Ludwig

Carl Ludwig was a 19th-century German physiologist renowned for his research on the cardiovascular and circulatory systems. He developed innovative techniques to measure blood pressure and blood flow, advancing understanding of how the heart and blood vessels work together to circulate blood throughout the body. Ludwig also contributed to experimental physiology by designing precise scientific instruments and conducting influential experiments. His work laid important groundwork for later medical advances and deepened scientific knowledge of human physiology.
