A27452	Mikrokosmographia, or, A description of the body of man being a practical anatomy, shevving the manner of anatomizing from part to part, the like hath not been set forth in the English tongue : adorned with many demonstrative figures / long since composed in Latine by that famous J. Berengarius of Carpus, Dr. of A. & P., reader of chirurgery in the University of Bononia ; done into English by H. Jackson, chirurgeon, by whom is also added a fit Etymon to the names of the parts in their proper place.

its motion there are muscles in it Galen said 7 de Utilit If the Breast were made of muscles onely they would fall upon the Heart and Lungs that therefore there might bee some space between and that in like manner the whole Organ might be moved the muscles are placed to the Bones by course This Belly called Pectus is great in quantity because it serves many and great members yet it hath a greater hollowness behinde than before the beginning whereof toward the hinder part is from the first Spondiles under the Neck unto the Septum transversum as much as twelve Ribs contain but before it taketh up onely the part contained between the upper Furcula and the lower inclusively In a man the Breast is broad not carinated as in the greater part of Beasts yet it is broader in a man than in a woman but for the bearing of the young the lower Belly is greater in a woman than in a man and for this reason the Region of the Reins of the bone Sacrum and the Ancharum in a woman is very large The Shape and Number and Situation of the Breast appears but the inward concavity of it is like to the hollowness of half an Egge cut obliquely through the breadth the part whereof is sharper toward the Neck it is also like to the nail of an Oxes hoof as is the figure of the Lungs It hath Colligancy with the whole body its complexion is according to its parts its native complexion actuated through influence is hot the helps of it are principally to keep the Heart and the Lungs it suffers passions of all sorts Mamilla diminut ●x Mamma quae ex vo●e infant um dicitur ut etiam Papilla ex vo●e Pappas Of Mamillae or the Teats IN the former part of the Breast toward the sides are two round Members taking their name Mamilla from their * The Author taketh Mamilla from Mamillana a kinde of Figs like Dugs Figure called of the Ancients Rumae In the middle of each of them there is one little Knob which is called Papilla through which the Infant feeds about which there is a Circle which is red or roset and sometimes black called in Greek Fos. The substance of these is of Veins Arteries and Nerves between which there is a hollowness which glandulous flesh doth fill up being white without sense and by reason of its whiteness when blood staieth in them it is made white and is turned into Milk and the Teats turn blood to whiteness and make Milk as the Liver turneth Chilus into redness and maketh it blood for every one of them turneth the humour in them contained to its own likeness in nature and colour of this blood being made white the one part nourisheth the Teats and the other is Milk and this is a profitable superfluity Unto the Teats do come their Veins and Arteries descending from the Region of the Armpits about the Ribs and also from the Region of the Pecten do come Veins through the Abdomen which you have kept above those Veins and Arteries do best appear in a body very lean but in a fat they are hidden but they are very well seen in a Faetus of three or four moneths The number of the Teats and the quantity appear yet they are greater in a woman than in a man for the ingendring of Milk their Situation is in the Breast because it is broad not carinated in which th●y may fitly bee placed and also because the superfluity of the Members above passeth not into Hairs neither into the Teeth nor into the Horns as in brute Beasts They have Colligancy with the Brain by Nerves with the Heart by Arteries with the Liver and Matrix by Veins but they receive the greatest part of the blood from the Matrix of which the Milk is made therefore those that give suck have not their Menstrues unless seldome and few and in those that have not their Menstrues in due time their Teats swell also the Teats do swell and are pained a little before the time of the Menstrues because the Matrix and the Veins therewith united are full The helps of them in a man are for comeliness and for the defence of the Members of the Breast and they reverberate heat to the Heart and sometime there is Milk made in a man by reason of the abundance of Nutriment especially in one that hath great and strong Teats in a woman they have also the aforesaid helps but they are principally for the ingendring of Milk that the new-born Childe might bee nourished therewith untill it can swallow solid meat and Milk is a proportioned nutriment for the new-born Childe because it is made of blood by which it was first nourished in the womb they suffer diseases of all sorts Of the Muscles of the Pectus quasi pactus quod ex costis quae veluti firmamentum pectoris sunt compactum aut pactinatum fit Gasp Baubinus Breast THe aforesaid things being seen and noted you may excoriate the Skin of the whole Breast leaving the muscles in their place and incise the Teats that you may see their substance especially their flesh in which are Veins and Arteries dispersed throughout and ye shall observe the * Papilla nipples to have very many small holes from which the Milk goeth out at which holes according to some the extremities of the aforesaid Veins are terminated through which the Milk goeth forth and according to others the Milk goeth forth from the Spongiosities of the flesh of the Teat terminated at the holes of the Nipple and not immediately from the Veins both of them are probable These being seen you shall note in the Breast many muscles which move the Breast voluntarily although the Breast may also bee moved naturally to wit according to the motion of the Heart and Lungs as wee have said in our Commentaries whereof some are without some between the Ribs and some within the Breast Of those without there are two under the upper Furculaes continual with the first Rib which do reach to the head of the Spatula and with them are united one other pair whereof every odd is doubling the first pair and making it into two parts the upper part whereof is continued to the Neck and moveth that but the lower moveth the Breast and this pair is continued with one pair which is continual with the fifth and sixth Rib. After that is another pair in the hollowness of the Spatula continued with one pair coming from the Spondiles even unto the Spatula and all they are as it were one pair which are continued with the hinder Ribs After that is another pair risen from the sixth Spondile of the Neck and from the first and second upper Spondile of the Breast continued with the same Ribs and all those muscles do di●●te the Breast After that there is one other pair extended under the roots of the upper Ribs which descending is united with

notable distance beneath the Kidney did enter into the Uritidia● pore risen from the aforesaid Kidney and both of them by one chanel did reach unto the Bladder neverthelesse this Emulgent artery did also enter into the Kidney in his wonted place and in that individual the Kidneys were continued as if it were one Kidney and it had two Veins and two Emulgent arteries and two Uritidian pores with one only Pannicle involving which did take up the wonted places of the Kidneys and also the middle part of the Back which is in the place between the Spleen and the Liver a little below them Therefore let alone the left Kidney in its place for the seeing of the Spermatical vessels and divide the right in its concave part through the middle according to the length of it unto its center considering the place of its Vein and great Artery which doe enter into the substance of the Kidney in the hollow part of it from which the Kidney doth draw spirit and nutriment and the watery super fluities of the whole body mixt with Choler all these mixt matters pass thorow the whole substance of the Kidney although it bee solid because they are subtile for bloud could not pass alone to the least parts of the Kidneys because they are solid except it were mixt with water and Choler all which mixed are resembled to the washing of flesh being drawn by the Kidneys thorow the Emulgents from the Liver and from the Heart by means of the vein Chilis and the artery Aorta This bloud mingled with much wateriness is alone retained of the Kidneys for their nutriment and the water together with the choler separated from the bloud passeth to a certain notable hollowness being in the center of the Kidney as it were into a ditch the which the river or chanel called the Uritidian pore bringeth to the Bladder this Pore called of the Greeks * Uretra is a very long pannicular solid 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 hollow body having its beginning from the body of the Bladder because as it is said it resembleth it and ending at the Kidney which consider with warinesse and keep together with the Kidney for the anatomy of the Bladder And in the Kidney there is not a net neither any other pannicular strainer as some suppose but the Kidneys are made hollow Organes attracting by some Orifices but sending forth by others a thin waterish superfluity Therefore Galen said in hls fourth Book De Utilit cap. 12. Finally many Drunkards drinking whole Amphoras and pissing the proportion of the multitude of drink are not troubled about the separation but the bloud which cometh to the Vena cava is readily and by stealth all purged forth by the Reins not touching the Vein the afore-named Ditch hath about it a solid Pannicle perforated with more than ten great holes through which Nature milketh forth the Urine into the aforesaid hollownesse by means of a certain small substance of the Kidney like to the Nipples of the Teates of women The Colligancy of the Reins appeareth by that which hath been said they are also fastned to the Brain by a little Nerve by means of a pannicle covering them Their helps are to purge the whole body from superfluous Water and Choler but especially the Liver and the Heart nevertheless in the rest of the Veins there also remaineth much Waterinesse mixt with the Bloud which is called Vehiculum nutrimenti the Waggon of the nutriment which appeareth in Bloud flebotomised or otherwaies drawn from the body They suffer every kind of Disease all which almost are of a hard curation as is the Diabetes or as it were the continual dropping down of the Urine they also suffer a weaknesse of the attractive quality by means of which the Urine goeth not to the Bladder and by that means a living Creature is sometimes choaked or dyeth some other way also of such a weaknesse is caused the Ascitis they also suffer Stones Gravel and Hairs but the hairs are bred or condensed in the uritidian pores the stones of it are red small oftentimes long being bred in the aforesaid trench when the Kidneys are weakned not able to retain the bloud the Urine goeth forth bloudy it also goeth forth so when the Liver is weak not separating the Waterinesse from the Bloud by that separation and quantit which it ought Of the Seminary Vessels called Spermatica THose things being dispatched 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 idem est quod semen a 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 semine in both Sexes first you shall note in the great Vein Chilis and the Artery Aorta sometimes above the Kidneys sometimes below one little Vein and one Artery both which are united at some distance touching one another descending to the Testicles of the right side You shall also note two like Vessels in the like manner descending and united in the left side one from the Emulgent vein of the left Kidney and another from the Artery Aorta all those little Veins and Arteries so descending are called Vasa Spermatica praeparantia that is the Seminary preparing vessels these vessels are covered about with a Pannicle risen from the Peritoneon called of Celsus Aegitroides the Vein lyeth above but the Artery lyeth beneath Those vessels are broader and harder in a Man than in a Woman excepting the time of impregnation and menstrues as it appeareth to the sense by the much bloud then retained in them but at other times they are harder and broader in a man and also they are always longer because they are to carry their matter contained to a longer distance and they are such because the Masculine Seed is more and is grosser than the Feminine by which length also of the vessels of a man his Seed is the more digested and the Seed of the right side engendreth Boyes because its matter is more digested and cleansed from waterinesse but of the left side Girls because it is cold and watery coming from the aforesaid Emulgents filled with watery bloud These vessels in both Sexes agree in the place from whence but disagree to whence their termination in a woman is within the body as it shall be said in the Anatomy of the Matrix which is placed after the Anatomy of the Yard and of the Anus for better orders sake But these vessels in a man descend on both sides unto the Os Pectinis in the end of the Ilia above the Loyns and therefore they are also called Lumbaria which vessels in their descent above the Os Pectinis doe enter on both sides into one pannicular covering risen partly from the extream parts of the Sifac which is commonly called Didymus and Cremasteres and they passe in the Cod near unto the Testicles as it may bee seen in one only side leaving the other side untouched for the seeing of the Anatomy of the Didymus but take heed lest you spoyl the Scrotum in any part but draw that vessel only which you
