Unit 2 Are these statements true or false?

1. More than 1,800 years ago, the Greek physician Galen came up with a model for how the human body works, but he was wrong.

2. The idea of creating the Virtual humanity was suggested by representatives of the US Marine Corps in 1997.

3. The Virtual Human will be a computational model of an individual that contains the knowledge base to describe mental health to the extent possible, disease processes, responses to chemicals in the environment, responses to stimuli, a host of other biological phenomena.

4. Easterly regards the Virtual Human as more than just a computerized person. It would be a tool to help scientists work with the vast amount of information on human biology that scientists have massed.

5. Clay Easterly developed the virtual heart.

6. The scientists have difficulties with modeling a human neuron.
