today my human anotomy and phisiology class went to the cadaver lab. they had 4 bodys in the lab that had alredy been disected they had been put back together for us to take apart and study. the bodys are layed out on these big metal tables, they're layed there compleatly skined so you can see all the muscles and stuff which looked pretty cool. the main body that i studied was the body of a female. the first thing i done was remove her rib cage and pull apart the muscles of the abdome to show all the organs. i then removed her heart to study it closer thats when i said to myself holy crap i'm holding a human heart in my hands not very many people have ever done this, this is awesome. i noticed she had a pacemaker in her chest and there were the veins on the heart that weren't supose to be there so i asked the instructor what they were, he said that she had a triple bypass surgery, you could see all three of them on it and where they were attached with little blue threads. i studied her body further and i eventuly found the vien in her leg where they took from to do the bypass surgery whitch was neat. they had her right leg removed at the knee cap so you could see the joint and stuff that was pretty cool. i noticed she was missing a big toe on her left foot she had lost it in some way, i was the only person that even noticed that. one thing i was kind of disapointed with was that they hadn't done the heads of the cadaver yet. i really wanted to hold and study a human brain. the only thing that sucked about it was the very strong smell of fermaldahide. when thet opened the door and you got the first wiff of it, it would almost knock you on your ass. the smell of fermaldahide is still stuck to my clothes. it was all a very good learning experience.
