Phrygians of Northern and Central Asia Minor 1000-2000BC
|
|
The phrygian cap is a common normal variant of gallbladder shape characterized a fundus that is folded forward. It was first described by Bartel in 1916. The Phrygians were a primitive race that migrated into northern and central Asia Minor in the second millenium BC. The Greeks knew of the cap as an Oriental headgear that was tight fitting and conical in shape and it has been depicted in their art. (Ober WB Wharton RN On the “phrygian cap.” 255:571-572 New England Journal of Medicine 1956 The cap was a symbol of freedom and the pursuit of liberty.The cap was worn by King Midas who was cursed with donkey ears by Apollo. He used the Phrygian cap to hide his ears. It was subsequently worn by the Trojan hero Paris, was a symbol of freedom in the French and American revolutions, was depicted on coinage in the US and on variety of seals and flags throughout the world.

Galen’s Concept of the Organs and their Faculties
|
| Heat plays a central role part in the theory of Galen. The three ‘faculties’ of the body are the nutritive, vital and logical faculties. The nutritive faculty is related to the stomach which “cooks” the food and converts it into chyle. The chyle is transported to the liver by the portal vein. In the liver further heat converts the food into blood and adds natural spirit. Some of the blood is transported via the veins to the heart where more heat is added to create vital spirit. The blood becomes thinner is distributed to the body by the arteries giving warmth and enables growth. The vital spirit is measured through the pulse. The brain adds psychic pneuma, which provides the rational and logical faculty in the form of thought will and choice. These are distributed to the body via the nerves. The logical faculty reigns supreme and is followed in orderof importance by the vital and nutrtive faculties. The transport systems of the body include the nerves which transmit the logical faculty, the arteries which transport the vital spirit, and the veins which transport the blood with nutritive faculty from the liver. Galen faculties of the body nutrition portal vein stomach liver vein heart vital faculty pneuma lungs brain logical faculty animal spirits Davidoff art Copyright 2008 13169c18b01.8s |
Witchdoctor – Sangoma
Gallbladders in Headress
|
|
The Zulu witchdoctors (Sangomas) of South Africa have a special repect for the gallbladder which they believe has special powers. It has the the same shape as the uterus and they have been interpreted as givers and receivers of life. The sangoma weras a headress that contains the dried gallbladders of goats. This image is dedicated to the Sangomas of South Africa, country of my birth. The whole image has been recreated by repetitive use of a gallbladder mount as seen below.

Endoderm of the Foregut
The Beginning of the Biliary System
|
| In the 4th week of gestation, the primitive endoderm gives rise to a foregut diverticulum called the hepatic diveticulum at the junction of the of the foregut and midgut. The hepatic diverticulum is the precursor for the liver bile ducts and gallbladder. hepatic diverticulum pars hepatica and pars cystica.

Histopathology of a Gallstone in Blue
|
|
This is a medium –power photomicrograph of a tiny gallstone which was present in a gallbladder and was included in the microscopic section of that gallbladder. The yellow color is the natural color of the stone, and there appears to be some linear or crystalline structure. Only the gallstone is present in the picture, no gallbladder tissue can be seen.
