The Human Heart

So, Learning about the human heart in my Anatomy class. This is an easier chapter I would say, it is basic mechanics of how the blood flows and which chamber pumps first. So, I liked this chapter.

But then again there are a bunch of weird new words to learn . Like Semilunar Valve. so many different vocabulary words.

Although The heart is kinda a mirror image on the left and right side. If you learn one half of the heart you will know the other half for the most part.

Here is a thought, looking at the back of the heart you can see big veins/arteries. The idea that they heart has to pump its own blood, how weird.

THEN! the most fun part of the class, we get these strange Anaograms to remember all the parts of the blood! This one was the best so far, Never let monkeys eat banans, haha. poor monkeys.






OK! thanks for the reads, and come back soon, I'll go over some popsicle sticks of my child hood instead of more boring anatomy class. haha

Anatomy Class is FUN

As those who follow me know I am currently taking an Anatomy class. At least we get to have fun with the class skeletons.

This entails me going to class, and learning about the human body. And no, there are not any naked ladies. . BUT! there are other cool things, like getting to dissect a REAL HUMAN BRAIN!

 My teacher had us get our human brain halves and label "Pin" them. This means taking those orange things in the above picture and putting them into correct part of the brain that correspond to numbers on our work sheet.

The brain was kinda gross, and smelly, as all these dissections have been. But It was still very interesting to learn, and see what is inside my head!

This pic above is not that great, but it's the Brain stem near the gloved index finger. That is the part that turns into your spinal chord!

Then a close up of the middle of the brain. The hole you see is where Brain Fluid (Cerebral Spinal Fluid) flows. That stuff makes a one way trip around the brain giving all the nutrients and stuff it needs, then gets pumped into the blood.

KK! Thanks all for the reads! I'll try to keep you updated on how my anatomy class is going! so come back soon!
