Explanation:

Aristotle was a Greek philosopher, who believed in cardiocentric hypothesis. According to cardiocentric hypothesis, the heart was considered as the house of thought and soul, which controls the sensation, thought, and body movement.

Aristotle supported the cardiocentric hypothesis and believed that the heart was the origin of veins in the body and produce sensation.
