	Hieronymus Fabricius - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hieronymus Fabricius is the Latin name by which the Italian anatomist Girolamo Fabrici (1537-1619) is better known.
		By dissecting animals, Fabricius investigated the formation of the foetus, the structure of the oesophagus, stomach and bowels, and the peculiarities of the eye, the ear and the larynx.
		His main claim to fame is the discovery of the membranous folds, which he names "valves" in the interior of veins that, at the time he did not know but what was later discovered, prevent blood from flowing backwards on its way to the heart.

		Fabricius also investigated the mechanics of respiration, the action of muscles, the anatomy of the larynx (about which he was the first to give a full description) and the eye (he was the first to correctly describe the location of the lens and the first to demonstrate that the pupil changes size).
		Fabricius was born in Aquapendente, near Orvieto, and studied at Padua, where he was taught by anatomist Gabriel Fallopius.
		Fabricius publicly demonstrated the valves in the veins of the limbs in 1579, and in 1603 published the first accurate description, with detailed illustrations, of these valves in De Venarum Ostiolis/On the Valves of the Veins.

	Hieronymus Fabricius
		In English medical literature Fabricius is best known as the teacher of Harvey, who gives him the entire credit for the discovery of the valves in the veins which meant so much for Harvey's own discovery of the circulation of the blood.
		It was Fabricius' merit that he recognized the existence of a system of valves.
		Fabricius was indifferent to money, refused regular fees, and accepted only such presents as wealthy patients forced on him.

		JOHANN ALBERT FABRICIUS (1668-1736), German classical scholar and bibliographer, was born at Leipzig on the 11th of November 1668.
		The suffrages being equally divided between Fabricius and Sebastian Edzardus, one of his opponents, the appointment was decided by lot in favour of Edzardus; but in 1699 Fabricius succeeded Vincent Placcius in the chair of rhetoric and ethics, a post which he held till his death, refusing invitations to Gerifswald, Kiel, Giessen and Wittenberg.
		The details of the life of Fabricius are to be found in De Vita et Scriptis A. Fabricii Commentarius, by his son-in-law, H. Reimarus, the well-known editor of Dio Cassius, published at Hamburg, 1 737; see also C. Ba.hr in Ersch and Gruber's Allgemeine Encyclopcdie, and J. Sandys, Hist.

		Fabricius, an anatomist and surgeon in Padua, never performed a tracheotomy, but his writings include descriptions of the surgical technique.
		Fabricius' description of the tracheotomy procedure is similar to that used today.

		Fabricius' approach was to depict the structure of the body part (here the ostiola), describe their function, and then explain their purpose in terms of the rest of the body.
		Fabricius drew an analogy between ostiola and floodgates which hinder water flow in the sluices at a mill.
		Since Fabricius had his readers similarly experiment with a ligated arm, this could be the initial stimulus for Harvey's meditation on the quantity of blood ("De venarum ostiolis," p50).

		But let us hear Fabricius: “Those things differ,” he observes, “that are produced from eggs from those that originate from semen, in this, that oviparous animals have the matter from which the embryo is incorporated distinct and separate from the agent; whilst viviparous animals have the efficient cause and the matter associate concorporate.
		In my opinion, Fabricius does no more here than say: “It produces the chick because it irradiates the egg; and forms because it vivifies;” he attempts to explain or illustrate the exceedingly obscure subject of the formation of a living being by means still more obscure.
		Fabricius was involved in the study of blood flow in the body, which motivated Harvey to research this branch as well.

		Fabricius studied foetal development, the function of the larynx as a vocal organ and the changing size of the pupil in the eye.
		Fabricius is credited with discovering the existence of valves in veins, which was crucial in enabling his pupil William Harvey (1578-1657) to discover the circulation of blood.

		He is not to be confused with the other great "Fabricius" of medicine, Italian anatomist Girolamo Fabrizio, known as Hieronymus Fabricius ab Aquapendente (1537-1619).
		Fabricius Hildanus was known for his skill and speed in operating, his conservative surgical theory, and his preference for ancient medical and surgical authors.

		Fabricius, who was fascinated by anatomy, recognised that the veins in the human body had one-way valves, but was puzzled as to their function.
		It was Harvey who took the foundation of Fabricius's teaching, and went on to solve the riddle of what part the valves played in the circulation of blood through the body.
