Anatomy and Real Life..

Anatomy has more real life applications than just in the clinic..

I've realized:
a) I'm never ever going to donate my body
b) I should work out so if I ever die under suspicious circumstances, the coronoer can go, "damn, nice muscles!" or "whew, not so much fat we have to clean out."
c) My non-erect penis size should at least be 6 inches by itself so I can feel proud to die naked. Or at least die with a woody.
d) Always use the bathroom (poop) if you feel like you're going to die anytime soon.

That's pretty funny. It made me want to work out more too after I saw all the fat even in the skinny cadavers.

My mom is donating her body and after my first anatomy lab I called her and told her to keep lifting weights so the studens would be able to separate her muscles easily.

I would donate my body though. You get to choose which school gets your body so you just make sure it goes to a school with a program that makes sure the students respect the cadavers.

At my school we never had anyone throwing organs or anything like that. I've heard stories from other students that it happens because you tend to forget it was someones body once.

Plus once you die what do you need your body for? It is put to much better use as a cadaver.

Everyone at my school is really respectful of cadavers too but I still told my dad not to donate his body. Maybe its selfish of me but when we cut their heads in half and separated it from the vertebral column I just couldn't concieve of it. I'm so glad families of the people who donate don't see what happens to their loved one.

I completely agree with everything you have just said. Bravo.

donors: please die in anatomical position

Did you know that the penis is only in anatomical position when it is erect??? 😀

 

[pbn2au]

well, erect or lying on the stomach I guess - it was an interesting discussion that day - didn't exactly cover that in lecture

P.S. in "The Secret Lives of Cadavers," the author describes how the embalming process produces excess swelling that is commonly attribuited to better endowment. That alone might convince me to donate my body...

Funniest thing I've seen all day Seriously though

I've been giving hell to one of my buddies in school because his cadaver has a huge weiner. I'm convinced it's bigger than most of the guys in my class...

one day i was faced with a major dilemma in cadaver lab. my cadaver only had one towel. cover up the face vs. cover up his genitalia? which would you do?

get some paper towel from the sink.

get some paper towel from the sink.

steal someones lab coat and cover up the nether regions

get some paper towel from the sink.

good call good monkey. next time the dilemma arises, i'll go for the paper towels instead of unsuccessfully trying to cover up the cadaver's blank stare with his plastic wrap blanket.

has there ever been a student who got assigned a cadaver of a person the student has known in life?

 

[katrinadams9]

Personally, I'd rather donate my organs than my body. At least then you're saving a few lives...

 

[Siggy]

Ahh, but you would save more lives indirectly by helping to teach the doctors of tomorrow.

I think i read in "Stiff" that it has happened once. Or something like the student knew the cadaver of an other group's.
