How did the lack of suitable descriptive models, specifically the absence of mechanical pump analogies, impede earlier understanding of the heart's function?

The delayed understanding of the heart's function is linked to a lack of appropriate descriptive models before mechanical pumps emerged in the late 16th century. Harvey's discovery challenged established beliefs, causing immediate backlash from the medical community. This illustrates the difficulty in shifting established paradigms, even with evidence.
