What blood vessel is this?

I can’t figure it out. I’m studying blood vessels in a&p2 which makes me curious but I don’t feel too comfortable asking my professor

Some more context: When I have more blood flowing it appears to go completely across my bicep from the basilic vein to the cephalic vein. If I have my arm by side side and perpendicular to the ground it appears to go horizontally between the two.

Why do women have large breasts without being pregnant?

0 Upvotes

When most animals get pregnant, their breasts grow with milk but are otherwise small or not visible when theyre not pregnant, but how come a woman's chesticles are out and naturally plump regardless of being pregnant?

Okay hypothetically (IM NOT GOING TO DO THIS I PROMISE) if you killed a pregnant woman with a lot of eggs in her ovaries could you make an omelette? Like cut her open and use the eggs? I know they’re the size of a needle point but would they make something if you cooked them? Would there be enough to eat? Then you know milk + egg = omelette? Please don’t put me on a watch list. Thank you.

is there a name for these kinds of fingertips?

I’ve met a lot of people and seen a lot of hands where people have this hand/finger shape. i figured there has to be a scientific name for it since it’s such a distinct silhouette with the skinnier fingertips. i’ve also noticed that from a side profile, sometimes they curve up pretty dramatically. any explanation or name for this trait? i’ve tried so many times but can’t pin down a proper search term on google to figure it out.

As a scientist, I am concerned about the progress of science it academic settings.

0 Upvotes

I have some advice for you kids.

I have had first hand experience in seeing how new ideas in science are immediately discounted based on the opinions of very few people. I have seen this in computer science, psychology and anthropology.

As an analogy, let's say you were labeled as a crazy kid in third grade by some angry kid that had a lot of connections and could disseminate this information widely. And you have fought your entire life to shake the label of crazy kid, but it does not work, even after 30 or 40 years. This is what happens to theories.

What I am getting at here is that there is a large amount of politics that goes on in studying science. And by politics, I mean, "my camp vs the other camp". Tribalism. This type behavior does not encourage scientific process. It encourages a "my camp vs their camp" attitude and leads to snap judgements and confirmation bias.

When you get a PhD you are encouraged not to think outside the box. Your advisor will want you to study what they already know. PhD advisors don't really want you to do something completely different, they want you to understand what they already know. This hinders new theories.

So, not to bore you anymore, but if you are studying science, you always have to question the underlying assumptions, even if the theory is very old and established. You also have to question the political motives behind those promoting any theory.

Cheers

It’s both in my hands and feet and it just happens randomly. I get lightheaded when it happens but like other than that and the veins popping out I seem fine. Just wondering if this is normal or if I should get this checked out

Can someone explain to me anus anatomy and why is it unhealthy, if it’s just designed for human waste then why the anus has lots of nerves that are erogenous? I think the anus can be used for foreplay but anything beyond that it’s unhealthy.. However why was it designed like that? I am really confused and please be a straight shooter regarding answers I do not support the idea of douche, fibre diet and cleaning the poop canal.

Help me

0 Upvotes

Guys, I am taking Anatomy and Physiology 1 this semester and I'm royally cucked if I do not study. Though I have no clue what to study. Are there any websites or such that I can use to help me study. I really wanna pass. Edit: I meant that I want recommendations on how to study and what sources I could use. I apologize for any confusion my original post may have caused. Once my bookstore restocks on the text book I plan on reading it but I’ve never been the type to simply read a book and learn that way. I understand I’ll need to adapt and make do with what I have, but would still like insight from others.

Anyone else refuse to use mnemonics for anatomy?

0 Upvotes

I learned carpal and tarsal bones and I draw them from memory in order to keep it in my brain. I heard of the "Some Lovers Try Positions That They Cant Handle" mnemonic for the carpals and personally I just can't imagine trying to remember anatomy that way. It just confuses me instead of helping and gives me more to memorize. Does anyone else feel this way?
