The spleen is the place where the blood sediment and its caustic part, that is, natural and by-product black bile, are removed. The spleen has a certain significance and a certain ability; it opposes the heart from below, and the liver and gall bladder from the side. Having drawn in the cloudy part of the blood, it digests it, and when the blood becomes sour or tart and capable of irritating and tanning the mouth of the stomach and its warmth is moderated, the spleen sends it to the mouth of the stomach through a large vein. If the spleen weakens and cannot cleanse the liver and adjacent areas of black bile, then black bile diseases arise in the body - cancer, varicose veins, elephantiasis. hush, black bahak, black bar as and even melancholy, leprosy and others. If the spleen weakens and does not remove the black bile, which should be removed from itself, then it should also enlarge, become thicker and swell; there is no place for the bile arising in it, and the bile, which should irritate the mouth of the stomach, turns out to be locked.
If black bile is sent into the mouth of the stomach in excessive quantities, then hunger increases, and if it is acidic and there is not too much of it, it causes nausea and vomiting. Sometimes black bile causes deadly black bile abrasions in the intestines. If the spleen becomes fat, then the whole body loses weight and the liver loses weight, and this causes severe harm to the liver. Often black bile burns in the liver and becomes only moderately acidic, and sometimes it pours into the stomach in terrible abundance and causes black bile vomiting, which is often repeated in attacks, and that this causes a disease called “gastric inversion.” When bile is excreted in abundance and there is no fever, this is due to the weakness of the retaining force or due to the power of the expelling force, but when a lot of bile is locked up, then the situation is the other way around.
The spleen is an oblong organ, shaped like a tongue, which is adjacent to the stomach to the left and back, where the spine is located. It draws black bile through a neck adjacent to the concave surface of the liver, below where the neck of the gallbladder joins it, and expels it through a neck growing from within the spleen. The concave part of the spleen is adjacent to the stomach, and the convex part is adjacent to the ribs; it is connected to the ribs through ligaments that are not numerous and not strong; on the contrary, they are few and fibrous, and they are suspended from the membranes of the ribs. On this side it connects with the resting and beating vessels, and its concave, flat side is suspended from the liver and from the stomach, although it is located opposite the lower part of the liver and is located at the lower part of the stomach. The spleen is connected to the stomach by a vessel associated with each of these organs; The spleen is suspended from this vessel. The spleen is supported by a membrane folded into two layers with the help of branches diverging in the membrane, abundant in number but small in size, which penetrate into the spleen and into the omentum. In the spleen there are many vessels, beating and non-beating, in which the blood matures and becomes like the substance of the spleen, after which the excess is expelled. The substance of the spleen is rare so that it can easily absorb the thick black gall excess that penetrates into it. It is covered by a membrane growing from the peritoneum, and for this reason the spleen participates with the thoraco-abdominal obstruction, since the membrane of the thoraco-abdominal obstruction also begins from the peritoneum.
