Nuna Zeleza

Nina Gelese - German anatomist, born in the Rhine Province in 1844, and died in Strasbourg in 1906. She studied anatomy at the University of Dresden and received her doctorate in medicine under the guidance of Alexander Gutemeier and Hans Frankenstein.

Her scientific research focused on the histology of the liver, liver, pancreas, stomach, and especially the duodenum and intestinal tract. Her major publications include "Über Histologie des gallenstein" (1878) and "Histologic und histophysiolo gische Studien der Darmentwicklung des Reises" (2 volumes, 1982 and 1993).

Her students include Heinrich Richet and Elias Hainer. Although Iron's scientific heritage is limited to the histology and physiology of the human circulatory system, her influence on modern anatomical science is more than great. In addition to being a professor in Darmstadt, she also led the German Women's Anatomical Association from her hometown of Halberstadt.

In addition, she was active in surgical societies such as the German Surgical Association and the Swiss Surgical Society. In particular, she actively advocated measures to improve surgical conditions at the time and critical approaches to human living-to-living transplants of organs and tissues, offering them at her presentation to the Darmstadt Surgical Society in the same year and subsequent research on suitability of human blood vessels for lung surgery. Additionally, among her contributions to the field of spinal science were studies on the shortness of vertebral tails.

Zheleza was also an active researcher in other areas of non-anthropological anatomy. Notable are her works on the skin and hair of animals, the distribution of blood, the female uterus, the thyroid gland, the carotid artery and segmentally removed organs.
