Flow of Life According to Galen
13169c18b01.8s 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.

The Circulatory System
Study of Dynamic and Efficient Flow
The heart and lungs are positioned at the centre of all the organs in the body and they are understandably considered vital organs. Think of yourself as a little red cell within the vast and powerful environment of the circulatory system. Listen and feel the power of the pulse and the rush of all the rivers going back and forth, hither and thither, and around and around – imagine what goes on inside the system all the time – it is probably like walking through a rain forest with huge waterfalls, winding rivers and rivulets – a mixture of gushing power and calm meandering flow- but the colors are reds and blues instead of greens and yellows!

The Alveolus Centre of the Respiratory System
Model of Efficiency and Work Flow
The alveolus is lined by a complex detergent type solution called surfactant (pink) which reduces the surface tension in the alveolus, making it easier for the alveolus to expand during inspiration and preventing alveolar collapse on expiration.

The Ins and Outs of the Lungs
Model of Efficiency and Work Flow
The chest quietly expands and contracts under basal conditions in order to serve the alveoli. At first glance it seems like a simple bellows-like process, but as one delves into the layers of detail, the complexity of the structural design unfolds as a combination of physical and chemical forces.

The Alveolus and the Lungs
The two layers of pleura (orange) are held together by a thin layer of pleural fluid (yellow) by cohesive and adhesive forces. The visceral pleura is connected to the lung while the parietal pleura is attached to the chest wall. The pleura and fluid as a unit bind the chest wall to the lungs. The cohesion and adhesion that results keeps the outer chest cage of bone and muscle in intimate contact with the lungs, being pulled and pushed together in the harmonious dance of respiratory movement.
