Wish I could show you the result of a flail left chest 5 years ago. Ribs 2-7 were shattered. Surgeon used an abdominal muscle to support the repair, prolly the oblique & must have attached it to scapula. After a few years of numbness all around there, I discovered that I could make the scar jump by tightening my abs. I can make a "smiley face" under my arm, it's weird.
Could u please do a video on marfan syndrome? I already know about it because I have it, but u explain things so easily that I understand things about the body that normally go over my head.
I would say the weakest 3 parts of the human body are [1]Lower back. [2] Neck. [3]teeth.

That blood choke is crazy. Someone did that to me in juvenile hall, one moment I was fighting to get loose from his arm and all of a sudden I woke up all confused with drool all over my sweatshirt
That's a pressure point in wing chun kung fu, or dim-dak(touch of death). Essentially, If you are well trained and if you apply enough force to it, you can easily kill the human being with it no matter how strong it is. Bruce Lee knew all these, as well his teacher of it Ip Man.

I remember learning about some of these areas waaaaaaaay back when I took Martial Arts. I remember one guy got angry that when we were sparring I would crouch down and make myself small so I wouldn't be so open to him....and he said " That's not fair!" Protecting myself isn't fair? Luckily I didn't see him around more than once. One thing we were taught by the instructor though was to never approach someone you may get into a confrontation with head on...exposing your middle to them...approach slightly turned away so you're not a big target saying, " HERE I AM! " Learn to protect your vulnerable parts....take self defense classes. It's smart.
i love your pfp pic!
Being able to use our hands is better for our protection than having our necks, groin and belly directed to the ground. Spears, sticks, bats, punches and firearms would not be possible without this shift ☺️
The brain has a minor part to play in all that too. Wouldn’t you agree?

You need intelligence to create something like a gun you need dexterity to use it and lifespan and socialization spread the knowledge.

Your videos are extremely helpful for me to understand anatomy better. Thank you so much.
The fact that we decided to “walk around” exposing our vulnerable most parts, to me is an act of defiance to all dangers around us, we started showing we are pretty brave.
Supraspinatus muscle and its tendon are very weak too. I wasn’t doing something extreme when working out but ended up having a tear. Shoulders are super vulnerable in humans for some reason which surprises me because our ancestors needed shoulder strength to climb tree branches
Thousands of years of disuse probably

I love your videos, and the way you explain the information. I'm glad you are making them. I've always being intrigued by how perfect our bodies were created and even in death we still can see the perfect structure of it. Please don't stop making them. If was able to study anatomy of the body, I would like to have teachers like you. You guys are doing exelent job. Thank you!
I would argue our bodies are FAR from perfect! Evolution isn't perfect - just good enough. See: the appendix, tailbone, and recurrent laryngeal nerve.

About 25 years ago there was an incident near the small town I lived in at the time. A group of young men were out hunting and a 16 year old boy was running while carrying his hunting knife, unsheathed, in his hand. He tripped and fell and landed on his knife, severing his femoral artery. Those that were with him at the time could do nothing to help him and said that he 'bled out' in less than two minutes. I have no doubt that none of them have ever forgotten that night. I wasn't even there and I can still remembe4 the shock in town at the time.
This just makes me want to walk around wearing a suit of armor.
Dust and bones. We're just dust and bones. Accept that, man.

@@qazweriopkoilj you dont think our minds transcend into space/ something like that?
As a person that's been stabbed. This is really cool to see. It explains why after the puncture, the area was tight. This was the omentum trying to seal the wound. That's fascinating af🤓
So sorry this happened to you, hope you came out okay

Don’t end up getting stabbed again
@@dilianvt good advice
You should not get stabbed

By eating junk food and getting a big gut I’m trying to add more layers of protection to my midsection.
Everyone thinks I joke when I say something similar, but jokes on them I'm protected from stabs better than they are.
@@ketjustin100 Don't need to stab you, the clogged arteries will do the job
@@westonwheeler2311 oof 😂
So, you gonna die with 💯 possibility and faster to stop the chance of dying
@@westonwheeler2311 so, I’m gonna be pedantic, but:
A stab kills pretty quickly or not at all. Clogged arteries take decades.
Now, unless someone is expecting to be shot or stabbed, extra weight isn’t very helpful (and even having “too much” muscle can leave someone with an obese BMI lol).
A series of tests on this, most famous of which was done by the Mythbusters team, in which simulated “human” muscle and simulated “human” fat were shot and stabbed.
Fat and muscle were equally “protective” to damage from killing weapons. That said, protective is in quotes because, iirc, the tests indicated lethality was not very significantly hampered by a few inches of extra fat/muscle, when it came to most of the weapons they tried.
Anyway, a larger person, muscular or fat-wise, is probably slightly more resistant to significant stab wounds… to the abdomen.
People shouldn’t have to live expecting to get stabbed, so going the “stab resistant, clogged-artery” stance has grave future concern, but should I get stabbed in the abdomen, I hope I have some sort of protective layer there, either way.
I don’t live life like I’m expecting a shank, so for that, I say, thank fuck.
In regards to the blood choke: We were taught the carotid arteries have barometer type structures that drop the blood pressure to the brain / head because it senses the pressure would damage the brain.
I love this channel so much! you guys are so amazing...am learning a lot about our body and its parts and functions because of you...keep up and God bless your works
When you say “in biology, sacrifices must be made” is really a restatement of a key concept in all areas of engineering - trade-offs. Every design, every project, have inherently conflicting goals. The best result optimizes the design against the goals. For example: strength versus weight, speed versus power, time-to-release versus cost. The human body is an optimized product of evolutionary engineering.

When my appendix ruptured, my omentum managed to wrap itself around the infected area and newly formed abscess, protecting my vital organs, keeping me alive just long enough until I was able to have an emergency appendectomy. I didn't believe it when my surgeon told me, but this cleared up the mystery on how it did that. Thanks!

As a female MMA fighter. I got punched in the liver and instantly collapsed into a ball with the worst pain in my entire life. Also I got choked out once. I passed out within 6 seconds. The move is called a rear naked choke. Your videos are the best on TH-cam thank you very much!

I love your channel, always done with genuine enthusiasm and so interesting but this one has been my favourite so far.
The reason humans can afford to have such anatomical vulnerabilities, is that we are inherently cooperative and social. We don't have to defend ourselves from predators because of how we manage our environment.
We don't need thick fur because we wear clothes and live in houses.
People need to realise how interconnected and social we are by nature. Maybe it would allow them to be better people if they knew it.
Humans did not shed fur and stopped being vulnerable to predators because we invented clothes and houses or were anymore social than other species...
first humans stood upright to run faster and shed fur to sweat more..then modified hands for better dexterity to throw weapons.
still we were getting our asses kicked by predators.
most evolution had already happened by then, giving us speed and better cooling.
brain developement and language came much later into the picture
@@deepeshjain3753 Well, that's your guess.
I use to think I am antisocial and when the lockdown happen I realised that that ain't true infact that ain't true for almost every single person, the truth is we love socializing and some people start thinking that they don't, it's cause they've had a bad company/experience with someone etc, but one you take away every form of social interactions we become depressed, frustrated, angry, sad and what not.
@@ashokratan88 We are literally ourselves because of other people around us. It's not always easy, but being a human is amazing!
We could have such vulnerabilities I feel partly because of our social aspect and strength in numbers but you can't undermine our offensive capabilities. We didn't need crazy defense because over time we just developed and utilized all sorts of offensive tools and traps. Even small groups of people were able to take down giant powerful animals they wouldn't usually stand a chance against with spears, let alone the far more advanced weapons we kept creating
Human warriors for thousands of years knew about these 3 damage points, and that’s why even lightly armored foot soldiers had neck braces, abdominal armor and thigh greaves. That helps!
Amen!

Ive been watching a few of these vids now and I really appreciate how you break everything down to an understanding. Thank you
You're a phenomenal teacher and presenter. I am fascinated by the subjects.
I really like your comment: "breathing is one of my favourite things to do". That is a great exercise in gratefulness.
“Hey, look at my neck, look at my abdomen, look at my groin!!” Is a great line, and I’m stealing it. Seriously, though, thank you immensely for your extraordinary work.

Most bodies donated don't end up in places like these. They're disassembled & sent around the world. Nice thought though.
@@katiekane5247 what ashamed 🥺
My mother passed at the age of 59 and donated her body to have her chronic conditions studied. We were at peace knowing her struggles, trials, & tribulations would not be in vein and would contribute to research. I had decided to donate my body through the same company until I got the letter back about how exactly her body was used. Essentially she got "parted out" and used for things like EMT training rather than actual research on her conditions. Though I know many fields can benefit from these beautiful donations, I was and still am a bit heartbroken since she was told that she would be used for actual anatomical research which was her true desire. As you search for universities or donation programs to donate to, PLEASE do your homework. I'm still happy to donate this shell when my soul departs but I'm being a lot more cautious with what program ends up with my donation.

This is a great video as always you have been posting. I struggled to figure out which portion of the body part this was. It would have been great to show an animated 3D image by side. I know this would be tough but the video would draw much more attention to a common person.
12:41 I can attest to the liver being a weakness...I fell on the end of a bike handle when I was 14 and got what the ED doctor called a grade 3 liver laceration - basically a baseball-sized hematoma, but thankfully no uncontrolled bleeding and no damage to any of the other delicate organs in that area. But man, those first few minutes after it happened were filled with an absolutely catastrophic amount of pain, and the only reason I wasn't screaming bloody murder was because I could barely breathe.
Can confirm this mate. Had the same and was sure I am not getting up anymore.
I got hit in the balls on a bike after a stunt at 13 or 14 talk about pain. I'm 63 and no I had no problem there. i raise a family as well.
Good lord. I’ve never had an injury to my liver that bad but my kid landed right on my liver when I was laying on my back once and I couldn’t breathe because the pain was so intense. In some ways we are very fragile creatures but in other ways, we are the most resilient creature on Earth
You should look up liver punches in both boxing/kickboxing and MMA it’s an actual target cause of that reason
In the liver was it tore, my daughter had a Stage 5 liver laceration, I'm trying to find out was the liver torn away?
The pictures I look I can't tell. She died but I'm trying to figure out what it look like.
I never realized the liver was so huge. I would LOVE to see a video about organ donation and specifically partial liver donations from a living donor. My cousin received a triple organ transplant in 2020 and it saved his life despite very low survival odds.
@melissa liver regenerate it self
@@michaelakinrefe9897
TO A CERTAIN POINT IT CAN REGENERATE. AFTER THAT, YOU ARE ON YOUR OWN.
Melissa, it isn't huge, it is just big enough. Thank you.
Liver can heal it self, somewhat.
But, you can still destroy it.
Drug abuse is the worst thing. It doesnt have to be abuse either. I felt my liver, i felt it hurt , and it felt hard, when i got some cancer medisine. Not strange,it IS poison. After this, i had to live like a nun, and that mean also eat food like a non. No fat,no sugar, no taste, and the liver slowly repared itself )
And then alcohol can also kill the liver, but it takes some times...
And yes, i agree, i know a bit about the body, but i dodnt realize that size was normal. Its much bigger than i thought. Huge,actually.
I thought the heart was big,but thats small, compared to liver....
@@bezzerwizzer6448 whatdrug?
Very clear explanation and understandable for even amateurs like us. Please extend to the MAX.
I just discovered this channel and I'm hooked! I love this!
20:14 This description is spot on. One day in highschool government, I was very bored so I was compressing my carotid artery (don't ask, I was VERY bored). After a couple seconds my vision starts going dark so I release. I do this a couple more times until I accidentally push it too far and the next thing I know I have a bad headache and am lifting my head from my desk while the whole class stares at me. Apparently I had completely lost consciousness, and once gravity took over my face slammed into my desk, startling the whole class. I did not enjoy trying to explain away what had happened to my teacher...

I never thought about sensitivity to pain actually being a positive for preservation. It tells us what's important. That makes a ton of sense.
That’s another reason misuse of painkillers can be dangerous. Your body uses pain to get you to stop doing something that is hurting you or causing damage but if you’re taking a pain killer you risk wear and tear on your body you otherwise wouldn’t have tolerated.
@@adamlogan41 So glad that someone else recognizes this. When I see people popping pills or voluntarily taking several regular meds instead of making changes so that the pain goes away? It's frustrating.
Then, they ask me what meds I take. I don't even keep Tylenol in the house. When I experience pain or discomfort, I change what I'm doing that is causing the pain.
A woman I have known for most of my life, prided herself on never sleeping very much. She drove on road trips, 18 - 24 hours straight, then, she would take a cold shower, keep going. I was very afraid for her.
As a child I thought she was superwoman because she never slept much taking naps for 10 - 20 minutes here and there.
As sad as this feels for me, she has started to have seizures. I had hoped she would slow down. Nope. She started taking meds instead of slowing down. She has had 2 mini strokes recently. So sad.
One example for me was I pulled something in my leg a few months back that slowly recovered. I just had surgery to remove my wisdoms and was given some stronger pain killers (one of which kept trying to knock me out a lot which was good cause it helped keep me semi sedated). The reason it was good was because I noticed that mild pain in my leg was gone and if I had more energy I probably would have used it more (it not hurting made me forget to baby it). Once my pain med course ended I felt that pain back but more than it had been because I was probably a bit rough with it and set its healing back a bit more. Makes me think they make strong pain meds make you drowsy on purpose.
@@FreeSpirit47 same and I only take Tylenol if I know I have growth pains or headaches but I never like to take them for anything else
@@FreeSpirit47 unfortunately for some of us, there's apparently nothing to be done, or nothing that outweighs the risk of doing it. Doctors aren't sure for me, but it seems like autoimmunity is just super screwing me over, I'm in so much pain and fatigue and seizures. Even if they were certain, the only fix may be basically nuking the immune system, but that comes with a whole host of dangers and especially when we're in the middle of a massive pandemic.
So they just give me painkillers and I take what enjoyment from life I can 😕 Hopefully they'll get better treatments one day, but in the meantime painkillers are all some of us can do 😞
Since I've been looking at maps/images of abdomen organs to see what could be effected when some impact like a punch in the liver you gave as example here, my 2nd thought as cringe was not only would the liver get that much damage but also it's right by the stomach and it unlike the liver has nerves. So not only could that damaging punch/other damage right there give you pain in the stomach but also possible internal bleeding and tearing and don't forget the pancreas & spleen right back there that when damaged or required to be removed can/will cause much... difficulties. And depending on the damage, half the liver can grow back unlike those other organs.

If anyone understands that, you know I was left in unexplainable pain, could pick up my 4lb baby, couldn’t sit up, or walk, etc and had to go back into surgery 4 days later to have my incisions re-opened, all stitches in all layers removed, and re-closed. 10 yrs later I still have lingering pain!
God Bless that’s a painful mistake. I’m a retired Neonatal RN who basically did the baby care the baby during a C/S deliveries and difficult V deliveries. I really don’t think men could withstand some of the things that can happen pain wise. Just the process of mid to late pregnancy causes the pubis to gradually fracture so that the pelvic outlet can enlarge to fit a baby head through. It’s pretty amazing.
So sorry for you sweethart
Oh my goodness! I can't even imagine!!

You won't be able to be on your feet for that long. Your muscles will always be flexed which is tiring , which is why dogs and cats do a lot of laying down.

@@toku_u fun fact part 2: the human body isn't very efficient at using the 21% oxygen of the atmosphere. It's somewhere around 10 to 12% of that which is why mouth to mouth (CPR) works. Only need 12 to 16% of that 21% to sustain life

Thank you for your videos. I have always been fascinated with how the human body functions. I watch a lot of crime and medical shows and you help me to understand when they talk about these things. 👍👍
Cold u please do anatomy on the brachial plexus!? I am highly interested in this due to personal injury
I'm still in awe of how much we can learn from the internet today...From back when there weren't any cellphones..to now...when all knowledge of the human race is at anyone's fingertips, I'm simply in awe. And I find it humblig
along with endless misinformation and tripe..
@@robertwilber1909 theres the trade-off
It always amazes me the number of people who don't want to learn new things. All the information of man kind at the tip of your fingers and people can't even learn how to change a tire.
Thats a bit ironic though, internet may be globally avaiable for everyone, yet there are still many obstacles that prevent the use of its knowledge. Most of my family and friends only knows spanish, not english. So they would still be unable to learn the way I did from this video. Its a bit sad.
It's great that there is no tacky background music in these videos... Your videos are interesting and stimulating enough on their own. Keep up the good work!
You explained these so good !! You are really a realy talented and overqualified teacher 👍👍👍⚘️
I knew the neck was vulnerable but never thought about the groin. Interesting when you mentioned the femoral artery and all the blood it carries.
Evolution is so proud of the human body, it just decided to say "screw it" and put it all on display 😅
all design implies trade off - I cannot take any criticism of bodily 'flaws' seriously unless the person has already produced an improved design. And I am not my genes, and neither are you - anyone can live a successful life despite not breeding - mind over matter, spirit above biology (also, please look up 'reification')
@@MyMy-tv7fd: I did not understand this comment at all, uh help?
@@MyMy-tv7fd genetic suicide? How is that successful. You are alive because someone gave birth to you lol. That is the purpose of life and all living things. You can change how you define success because that is a social construct, but you cannot deny that reproduction is the purpose of life and failure to do so, is contrary to that. If we believe what you thought, then life would not even exist, we would all be non-existent. Its okay to be a failure in that purpose because there are enough people to pick up the slack.

You do such a great job thanks for all these videos of Human Anatomy
I tripped and whacked my sternum on the corner of a picnic table so well, the ER doc said he might write me up to show just how important the sternum is!!!
Many of us watching this video are making a mental note of "punch the liver" and "punch the hyoid bone" if we're ever attacked. Putting an assailant in a headlock is a good one if you have the opportunity and the strength.
Thanks for the fascinating lesson.
i thought i was the only one thinking like that
this is literally the only reason why i clicked into the video
This video basically sounds nearly identical to the physiology and anatomy run down I received in some of my military training on how to quickly and efficiently put a serious hurting on someone. We also got to do more than discuss the matter, we got to put it into practice on ourselves and others and those really are some of the top exploitable weaknesses on the human body. I'm always amazed by the fact that we (humans) are literally one of the weakest species on earth. We have poor natural weaponry, poor natural protection from the elements, a weak and exposed skeletal system, nervous system and both air and circulatory systems. We have sensitive immune systems, our skin is one of the weakest hides to protect a biological structure... we have the weakest claws, the weakest jaws, horrible eyesight, horrible hearing, horrible sense of smell and we are slow, clumsy, non athletic by comparison to other predators, we have one of the weakest muscular systems and we are absolutely and unavoidably vulnerable and defenseless for years after the day of our birth. Without the complete and extensive care of a grown member of our species, we would perish within a few days of being born... yet, in spite of all this, we are the planet's top alpha predator because of our intelligence and ability to craft tools. Without our brain and our intellectual capacities, we would be one of the easiest prey on earth... even cattle, sheep and house pets would be above us in the food chain. I find this truth somewhat displeasing and ironic beyond comprehension, but I'm glad I'm not at the lower levels of nature's food chain... there life is far more harsh and unforgiving than we could probably ever truly comprehend.
Very well said! Our powerful brains overcome our physical limitations! What other animals could create a smartphone and a TH-cam app??? Certainly not my cat Mr. Whiskers!
@@AceNinja2112 lol, I don't know but I'm pretty sure I've met humans that were less intelligent than a cat... so maybe Mr. Whiskers has the upper hand on a few humans out there.
I'll agree on most of it, but non-athletic isn't really true. Yes, a lot of other animals are faster, but in terms of intense sustained efforts, very few can compete. A human runner is completely unable to sprint at 120kmh, sure, but try getting a leopard to sustain just 12kmh and it's going to overheat and fatigue fairly soon. A reasonably fit (i. e. not succumbed to modern amenities) human can keep this up for many hours each day, every day no problem. The reason is that not only are our bodies remarkably efficient at converting chemical energy from food into motion, but also that we are able to efficiently store excess energy for easy access and refuel during exercise, as well as reliably get rid of excess heat and other waste products. That combination is rather unique to our branch of the evolutionary tree. Of course, if you add engineering on top of that, you might end up sustaining 50kmh on a bike - that's impressive by any standard, though maybe not entirely fair for comparison purposes...
"Non-athletic"
Wait until you find out how people hunted by simply not stopping and running the prey to exhaustion
@@Will-tm5bj yes, but it was not done 1 on 1 buddy! Humans did that by using large groups of humans or by using hunting dogs. If we go 1 on 1, toe to toe with a healthy and even many unhealthy wild animals to see who will athletically outlast the other, we are going to lose over 99% of the time... and that's speaking about a 1 on 1 with a healthy and athletically fit person. Maybe years in the past, when people didn't have television, the internet, remote controls, vehicles and all the easy life amenities that we have in modern times, people in general might have had a decent overall level of fitness, but today you would be lucky to find a group of Americans who could all run full speed for two city blocks. Obesity, heart disease, diabetes and other unhealthy lifestyle ailments are at an all time high, so yes "unathletic" is quite a fitting description. But even athletic humans are still unathletic by comparison to pretty much all wild alpha predators and that is the main point of my initial comment and it happens to be absolutely correct.

This guy is amazing. His knowledge is so extensive and his ability to teach it without missing a beat is mind-boggling.
Is he a doctor?
I agree... Beautifully presented. If I may make one suggestion it would be to present the cadaver more clearly ie how it is lying- on its back or side etc, so it will be easier to understand where the structures are. I am especially referring to the neck part. Otherwise an excellent presentation! Pity you weren't around when I was studying anatomy some 50 years ago!
Very interesting! Enjoy watching you explain everything about the body!
Saving this to my Useful playlist
When I was a kid, I was riding a horse that bucked and reared and threw me. When I landed, I broke my clavicle. Thing is, I can't remember being thrown or hitting the ground. Years later I was watching Mike Tyson fight, and thinking, you can't knock this guy out because he has such a thick neck! Then it occurred to me, back when I was on the horse, I passed out while I was still in the saddle, not from the pain of the fracture as I hit the ground.
The way pitbulls and other animals shake their prey would have the same effect - it would cause their prey to pass out and become defenseless. It's merciful, really.
Oof. Horse falls can be pretty bad... I've been very lucky not have broken anything falling yet. I'm sure it'll happen eventually. My worst one was when I was riding my neighbor's horse and the poor thing got stung by a wasp. Perfectly understandable why he started crow-hopping. Unfortunately, since I was riding bareback, I had nothing to hold onto, and thus got an impromptu flying lesson. Double unfortunately, the lesson didn't stick and gravity took over. 😂
Random fun fact: horses don't have clavicles!
Don’t put that negative image on pitbull’s
@@warriormaiden9829 wasps are dicks
@@SoulDelSol Lol, yeah they are.
@@kaciek6893 no one needs to put a negative image on pitbulls. They do that to themselves.
10:00 Animals can even use this to communicate. In dogs it can show submissions and trust, and cats can show their owner that they trust them by rolling on their back and exposing their belly.
They are saying, "Hey look. Here is a venerable part of my body. I know you won't hurt me. In fact, I'll even let you touch me here.""
Some cats show that they trust you *not* to touch them on their tummy by rolling on their back, a lot of them don't seem to like it.
great video!!! Very informative, interesting and also entertaining :)
Thank you!
Just simply awesome! Thank you. Your teaching skills excel!!
It's always great to see your passion for human anatomy. I believe it is required to inspire students as a teacher. Thanks for that!
hes a great presenter and teacher
16:38 I have a friend who is a veteran soldier from an elite unit of the Colombian army and he has a really shocking scar all around the front of his neck, it happened that he was mugged by a group of thieves, one of them take him from the back but he was resisting so much that the criminal reach the conclusion that the better option was to just kill him, so he take his knife a tried to cut the frontal area of my friend's neck from side to side in a straight line, so he caused this big damage to his neck basically a mortal wound in any person. My friend walked by himself to the hospital and the paramedics couldn´t believe their on eyes, he was not only perfectly conscious, but also even if he had a deep looking wound in his neck, he wasn't bleeding that much, obviously there were scary looking amounts of blood around his neck, however he wasn't bleeding to death, he wasn't in risk of dying inmediately, he just needed to close the wound and a good disinfection.
At that time my friend was in peak physical condition and had a lot of muscle, according to the doctors, he survived thanks to some luck and because the muscles around his neck were thick enough to protect vital parts of his neck from the cut, it is important to notice that he was not a bodybuilder but a person subject to daily basis extreme physical activity, like carrying around a lot of weight in equipment, carrying other people and weapons from one place to other just for daily normal training, hours of functional exercises and so on. So I was thinking that probably our ancestors who had to endure a lot of physical activity every day had a lot of really tough muscles which could partially make up for part of the weakness mentioned in the video.
Did he seek revenge on the thieves ?
The attack was too fast, my friend could only recognize a couple of them, at the moment he was more worried about his wound than them, so they go away never to be seen again (not like he feels like risking his life to find them), so he never take revenge on them, but that kind of people always ends in jail or death at the side of the road, it is likely that this is what happened to them, they died like garbage in some sad and lonely dark corner.
The greater omentium was absolutely amazing to this writer, I was awed the first time I saw it. Per the
A & P Cadavers in our class.
We were blessed to have a female Cadaver going out, and a Male Cadaver coming in. Our teacher chose to use both for the reproduction system, before surrendering the female Cadaver to cremation.
The first time I saw the greater omentium it looked like a yellow lacey curtain. It's fascinating.
Our teacher believed in hands on learning and what part of the body that was opened was also allowed to be handled albeit very gently.
She was such a passionate teacher in this field she ordered body parts from a catalog. We had the entire digestive track from the back of the throat to the anus.
Breast molds with lumps to identify, teaching us how to find possible cancerous tumors. Men were not excluded either there was testicular molds with various lumps to be found.
For her extremely difficult test these were prep molds to help us pass. I' ll never forget her quote
"The sex partner is the one who most often finds abnormal growths."
She wanted us to have the tools of mindset for finding lumps, bumps that could very possibly threaten our lives. There were posters all over the walls, many about the effects of smoking, and smokers lungs. Microscopes and slides to identify different tissues, and so much more.
Most kids avoided her class like the plague. It was by far the hardest A&P course on campus. If not the county, as a premed class she wanted future doctors to be prepared for diagnosing the many different ailments that would cross their paths over the course of their career.
She was an old woman in her late 60's by the time I had her for a teacher. She said, "she was glad for her size B breast. Because as women get older, big breasted women's breast looked like tennis balls in a tube sock". Lol, now after seeing countless older ladies in a state of undress, she was right on target.
My grade, in her class was a C with a weight of 6 credit hours. One test either way, could uplift me, or crash my entire grade count . I had a solid GPA of a B through out the rest of my courses.
This class pushed me to the limits of myself.
I remember the string attached to the three different anatomical features, another three strings were wrapped around these structures individually: ie the femoral artery, and another on the spermatic cord both next to each other, and the third one I've forgotten. But having to decide which was which was exceptionally hard.
Same with the woman Cadaver, one string through the urethra/ vagina/ and the clitoris it was extremely difficult to see which was which as her like every woman's anatomy was unique.
Unbeknownst, to me her urethra was more to the side of the vagina then above it. I managed to get a C on this pop quiz. It was the closest my face had ever been to a woman's reproductive area. Now, in hind sight having done hundreds of catheters it was an awesome learning experience.
The following Monday was exam day. I defaulted on the test by way of absence our son had been sick over the weekend, and ended up in the hospital due to dehydration. Her policy was no makeups. I would have failed this course and lost my overall GPA of a B average. I spoke to her after class the next day. This was before cell phones. Hearing my story, with papers in hand to prove my case. She never looked at my papers from the hospital and she went against her rule of absolutes, and gave me a second chance after
school that day. I'd like to say I knocked the test out of the park, but I didn't, I got a C and it was the hardest C I've ever gotten.
She didn't believe in passing people because they showed up. No she believed people's lives were going to be in your hands at some point, and life was certainly more cruel then any failing grade you deserved.
The first time I held a stomach in my hands, the more awed I became by the human body. Or, when I saw how deeply inbed the pancreas is within the body, I thought it's no wonder that cancer diagnosis come so late.
Every system, within a system working in perfect cohesion to protect, and keep life going.
The eyes lashes and eyebrows keeping dirt out of the eyes, or the cremastor muscle seen in infant males during diaper changes. As I had an infant son at home, when I took this premed class.
Cold air the scrotum pulls up close to the body, a hot day and the cremastor muscle relaxes the scrotum falls away from the body.
Although, quite obviously babies sexual reproductive organs are not mature by any means. Humans, still have the working parts especially in males, that are functioning for a time when reproduction will or maybe a part of their lives.
The cremastor muscle looks like a line right in the middle of the scrotum in infant males.
A line dividing the right side from the left side. Evolution might seem to add weight to why this is, but the more I research and listen to amazing scientists who embrace intelligent design, the less evolutionary construct fits the whole picture.
There's so many different little particular details in a human body. That add to our pleasure and comfort.
Our unique anatomy has definitive purpose, that provides, and adds value to humans life.
It's these little creature comforts OUTSIDE of reproduction, that make it impossible for this writer to believe we just evolved this way.
I do believe it is by Intelligent design that we were created. Created in the ancient times, by a extremely intelligent creator infinitely ... more intelligent than any person past, present or future on this earth.
By a God who says
"I AM that I AM".
Ironically, I am, hard pressed to find others who believe as I do in the medical field. But, the science isn't complete on this yet.
This life, as I believe, is intertwined by flesh and Spirit. Some ancient teachings say, our Spirit is held in the body by a ligament that holds spirit to flesh. When our flesh is accidentally, and or intentionally harmed unto death, or our flesh is just plainly spent we as a spirit leave the body and are born into another dimension/ Kingdom where time and the physics of this world don't apply.
All humanity is created with an intelligent mind to know something created them. What actions come after that are between you and God. How far grace goes for those unable to understand Biblical truths we are not told. Except to say all of God's judgment is just according to his set stated principles, not our shadowed unknowing of knowledge.
Those who are mentally retarded, or are young children at the time of their death were/ are given grace and spared from judgment. Grace was and is applied in these types of situations. Per Old Testament Law. Which Jesus said, he didn't come to abolish any part of the law, but rather he came to fullfill it. Seek, the Lord with all your heart and you find him.
Our bodies are amazingly and wonderfully made. Knit together piece by piece in the secret place of our mothers womb.
The explosion in the cell after the sperm pentatrates the egg is the life spark, like a galaxy being born, exploding into existence.
So it is with human life. The first of God's life spark or breath within the Sperm/Egg oneness.
This amazing, free type of class in A &P, and studying of the body only adds to the beauty of life , and our bodies weaknesses and strengths we experience in this realm.
Thank you for sharing this , I enjoy watching while eating.
To build off of the mobility vs. stability concept you discussed, these weaknesses can be protected by the high level of mobility of the shoulder. As bipeds, our shoulders are very mobile and can be moved quickly and accurately to protect our groin, abdomen, and neck. For some people who have trained it, the hips can be used similarly to move the thighs and legs to protect these areas, though likely with less mobility, speed, and accuracy.
But why turn sideways when you can turn around and run?
