Many years ago, the professor of anatomy at the local community college would hold a “Service of Remembrance and Gratitude” at the end of each semester to honor and thank the donors. Attendance was not mandatory, but he told me almost everyone of his nursing and pre-med students would show up. I thought it was such a wonderful and respectful thing to do. Your video is the first time I’ve ever seen the inside of a human body. What a marvel of engineering it is! Thank you!
That was a very, very appropriate and respectful initiative from the professor. I think that a national day of the donor is not an outlandish idea. So many people owe their survival to the donors and the knowledge created thanks to them!
Same thing at an animal shelter after euthanasia of unadopted, homeless, or aged animals. Prayed over them as they enter their eternal homes beyond the clouds.
Imagine being on your deathbed and as you take your last breath you say to your friends "remember to watch the next episode of Institute of Human Anatomy, I'm gonna be a guest star".
That would be lit. My mom in law worked for a plastic surgeon and she was like “you’ll never wanna get Botox once you hear where it comes from” and I thought it could be like cow fetuses or some shit like that and she was like “it comes from organ donor skin” I laughed and I was like “oh so it’s all natural?! Sign me up!” Then she was like “so that wouldn’t discourage you to be an organ donor?” I said “nope, I mean if I can help someone get rid of some wrinkles by all means, I figured they’ll probably get a few syringes out of my rear end, I’ll gladly be of service” and she just sat there shook. Lmao. If I’m not using those organs anymore and they’re usable, by all means, have at it, take what you need, dissect my body, learn some stuff and then incinerate me. 😂
They’ll bury you with a headstone marked with your birth name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know a man is buried there. Your body will decay and go back to the dust, and all that will remain of your legacy is a skeleton that is unmistakably male.
My heart froze for a moment when he said “this patient passed away from colorectal cancer that metastasized to the liver”, as this is exactly what my dad survived. Crazy to hear someone died from the exact thing that someone else survived. Makes me even more thankful to still have him
I've heard that it is the deadliest if you don't do anything about it because it's easiest to find and treat and an outstanding cure rate, I've known people who have had it and it's gone both ways. At a stage 3and recovered.
A couple years ago my mom passed and she was a nurse and she donated her body to science. She went to the University of Austin. I am enthralled with your show, it’s amazing to see how the body works and I’m so proud of my mom for having made her donation.
I was kinda expecting random objects in their digestive tracts or shoved up their orifices. I guess I've watched too many "crazy stores from the ER" type videos
I love how he talks through it to make it more simple for people who may not fully understand anatomy, yet he's doing it without making you feel stupid. I wish I had a tutor like this back I college
I am giving my body after my death. It's in my will and my family know about it. I received a heart transplant at the age of 21 and a kidney at the age of 27. So i guess it's my duty to give back and it's my way to say thanks, since i could not tell my donors and their family. It's a pleasure to me to do this cause a know that it is important.
My beloved late husband donated his body to science. He passed from clear cell renal carcinoma. (Kidney cancer.) His hope was that they might find something in him that could help renal cancer patients in the future. I thought it was quite wonderful of him. Thank you for the gift your body will be to some College or Medical School. Very generous of you, and your family. Blessed be.
Very respectful of the cadavers. You are definitely the right person for giving these presentations. It was fascinating while at the same time never being cold or disrespectful to the fact that these were once living people. Much appreciated.
yes!! i appreciate how even in these videos he will say "this guy", "the patient", "this woman" etc, because even though life has left them theyre still humans who were once just like us
@curiousauthor9827 im looking to go into archaeology and we do the same thing in that field. i recently got to work with human remains and there was not a moment i forgot that this was once a living, breathing person with hopes and dreams in a world so similar yet alien to our modern reality. nothing like discovering some of the people were my age when they died to really bring home their humanity
Once you teach enough kids that obviously have no interest in the subject and instead just want to play around and go home for years, you wouldn't have any excitement either.
My father died in August at 99 years of age. He had signed up decades ago to donate his body to the medical school at the University of Cincinnati. I love that his life as an educator an artist, an art collector, and mentor to so many people continues, in a way, as his mortal remains are now being used to teach future doctors. We will miss him, but this was such a great thing for him to have done.
Hope you're doing well :( I can't imagine losing my dad, stay strong! I'm sure he'd be happy to know that even after he passed away, people could still learn from him
@@enste1 He would. And I just focus on his rich, full life. I mean, very few get 99 years. We had him for a long time, and there are so many fond memories of so many things. His body was starting to fail. I am glad that he did not linger and suffer for a long time.
I took an anatomy class in college as an artist. The professor had us draw and name each bone, tendon, ligament, organ, muscle, on layers of milar sheets. It changed the way we drew the human body. Your workshop is fascinating. Thank you.
@@lwxairsoft Hey, just for future reference. When someone says “The human body” they’re talking about the human body in general, not a specific body. Like in this example, they’re talking about human bodies in general not the bodies in this video.
Imagine after dying and donating your body for science, the person that’s examining you notices a weird abnormality that you never knew you had. Edit: Why did you guys blow up this comment? This is by far the most brain dead, useless comment I’ve ever made and it’s the second most liked. How…
The human body dissected isn’t as gross as I thought it would be. It’s fascinating seeing each part of a body explained as part of a whole, rather than in separate parts like in most health diagrams.
Probably because they dont show the whole body usually. Seeing a few organds or tissue at a time makes it feel like you are looking at a teaching aid. However, looking at the whole body, the face, and especially the eyes would probably remind you that its human remains. Then it would be a bit disturbing.
Without going into detail, we had a patient admitted to the cardiac unit and they had TWO heart rhythms- they had TWO hearts! One was much smaller, like a “piggyback” heart. It was very odd to have 2 different rhythms.
An MRI indicated that I was born without a gallbladder! Fascinating! Always knew I was special! I’m donating my body to science, I wonder if students will notice my gallbladder is missing?! Love you videos, thank you!
@Patiem1942 They should notice... because, when the gallbladder is present, there will be a dark green stain on the right side under the liver, without the gallbladder the dark green stain wouldn't be there. The green color is from the bile that is stored in the gallbladder. Also... the gallbladder looks like a pouch -- and it wouldn't be there.
Hopefully, you're not one of the unlucky bodies that gets donated to "scientifically" be used for blast tests in a government facility. Yes, this does happen.
So do you have trouble with fatty foods, or anything like that? I thought that was rather important for ensuring a good supply of bile to digest chicken wings and poutine :)
In my anatomy class one of the bodies was reversed. Professor said he'd never seen that before. Heart was on the right side. Liver on the left side, spleen on the right, etc etc. It drove the students working on it crazy.
Me too. It’s nice to be referred too as “troopers” because it is horribly painful and uncomfortable to live with this condition and “soldier on” for years,
It’s so interesting how not everyone has the same organs, You would think that they would all be the same. But it makes people and living things very unique.
Well, the more closely related the more similar. It’s also mind blowing how twins, just two humans alone, can be so identical. You would think that everyone would be different or the same, but just like everything else in the world, there’s no black and white.
I just found this channel and it made me think, it is just crazy how little most everybody knows about their own bodies. The things I have learned from only watching just three of these videos that I surely would have never seen or heard about in my entire life is just wild.
I had Jonathan as an anatomy teacher in massage therapy school and it was by far my favorite class in that whole program. He's such a passionate teacher and his lessons have stuck with me for the 8 years since I graduated.
We had a cadaver lab in my massage therapy school as well. I will never forget holding a human brain in my hands. It was so small and grey. Also the smell. I will never forget the smell of that place.
An important part of anatomy class is being respectful of the dead. All students and teachers learn/know this. You are required to do certain things to preserve the privacy of each individual deceased and the families. You may not do anything without the family's or deceased's permission. You'll notice he doesn't show the face or any distinguishing features.
When I was told anatomy many years ago, there was a sign in Latin over the door: "MORTUI VIVOS DOCENT" - the dead teaches the living. Of course we were respectful to the ones helping us with studying the art of the human body.
When I did dissection, we were always awed by the gift someone had given us... but we also separated the "person" from the body, if that makes sense. We weren't dissecting a person, we were dissecting the body- and that body taught us about the person, their life... it was so amazing. I still now, nearly 40 years later, can see the structures and remember how awed were were at the absolute magnificence of the body...
My grandfather died at 92. He had been an alcoholic since 9 years old. They approached me very respectfully and asked for his remains. Being a new nurse at the time I was all for it. I hope he helped with any studies he was involved in.
I'm an RN, but decided to take a job as a pathologist assistant in the autopsy lab. I can remember a patient who died of an astrocytoma and as we were lifting the brain out for examination - out fell a bullet! It seemed so amazing because there was no reference to any brain injury, etc. The position it was in should have been catastrophic, but this lady was 70yo.
@@jenniferdaulby5519 wow, I’m amazed it didn’t bounce around in there and scramble her brain. A friend of mine used to work cleaning up crime scenes/suicides and he said the messiest were where a .22 was used.
When I was 25, I had one of my ovaries removed because it was enlarged. The doctor told me it was the size of a grapefruit, which is a lot larger than the larger one you showed. Several years later, my periods got more regular and less painful than they had ever been since they started at age 12. At 36, when I wanted to start a family, I had no trouble getting pregnant and had a successful pregnancy of a healthy baby. One of my worries at 25 was that I might never be able to have a baby but I got pregnant in a month and a half. My son turned 34 last month and has always been healthy. Thanks for your informative videos.
Sounds like they were worried you would get Endometriosis. Thank god they caught it. They left me with my Uterus for a decade and i nearly died. Im glad you are okay...and also had kids. I have so many side affects. Endo can travel to the brain and other body parts and organs.
@@codybarry8204 I don't remember how/why is was diagnosed though it might be because I went to a new doctor or because of abdominal pain. The only other surgery I had ever had was removal of my tonsils at age 5 so this was scary. I was worried I'd never have a child but had no trouble getting pregnant after getting married late right before my 36th birthday. it was a basically easy pregnancy except for one scare because the placenta was rubbing on my cervix and bleeding and I had to be on bedrest for several weeks and the delivery was difficult. I ended up with an unplanned C section 10 hours after my water broke at home and frequent, painful contractions started right away. By the time we drove to the hospital, they had stopped and I never dilated enough to give birth. The incision was easy because the doctor cut through the scar tissue from the ovary removal but it got infected and I spent 11 days in the hospital with a high fever and postpartum depression and that was horrible. My son was there in the nursery the whole time and that helped me get through it. We did not try for another baby because he did not sleep through the night until he was 4 and stopped nursing and I was too exhausted. My husband was worried about how I'd survive another kid if he/she did not sleep either.
It's been 11 years, now I can finally visualise what happened to my wife. The Wimpy Omentum developed tumours, slowly pushing on her organs as her abdomen became more and more distended, and within a few months, had spread to her lungs and brain. I felt so sorry for the young girl, but a local cashier one day, innocently asked if my wife was pregnant, as over time, it would have looked that way. My wife was gentle about the honest mistake... poor girl will never ask that question again, it wasn't her fault, she just asked the 'one in a million' that day, any other day she would have been right. The effects of cancer ripples through the community.... Nine months from diagnosis to dust.
I lost 2 aunts and an uncle to cancer, between 2007 and 2021. Not from some awful kinds of occupational exposure, just bad genetics, really. University students linked it to a mutation in one of my aunts' BRCA genes just experimenting with one of her posthumous samples. I can't imagine how my grandmother could feel, having 3 of her children die before her. Cancer is a real mother@#$%er.
F cancer. I watched the channel Jenny Apple. She survived about 18 months with cancer all throughout, she beat cancer at 33. Her husband runs the channel now as he navigates raising their two kiddos. I think yall would understand each other on a level few of us really can. Grief is a pain like no other, when you feel up to it. Please Google "grief is like a ball in a box" it really helped me after my dad died. The Apples would say that your wife beat cancer, because it ended with her last breath too. I think that's a helpful perspective. There's no more pain or painful medical visits, just eternal peace. ❤
my best friend had an enormous ovarian cyst. she didn't realise how bad it was until she collapsed in the shower one day and was rushed to the hospital. her cyst was the size of a duck egg and had to be surgically removed. she really thought the pain was just menstrual cramps and ignored them, i'm still in awe and so grateful she's alive!
The things women blame their cramps for! I think there was a story on someone who was bleeding on the inside because one of her organs was malfunctioning and burst. Of course, she thought they were just cramps until she filled up buckets of vomit and was rushed to see a doctor.She survived. Sending my best wishes to your friend, yourself and your families, I'm sure you had a tough time. Very happy for all of you that the special friend survived, and I send you all the good blessings!
My friend, for years had same problems. I told her to talk to him about getting a complete hystorectomy, as I had too. Sure enough, no more pain, no more bleeding and no more burning all the cysts. The doctor should have talked to her, before all the hell she went through years. Of course now, no worries about ovaerin cancer etc.
@@aoifedeborha2420 another story I had remembered was a woman who had a heart attack but she thought it was just period cramps so she ignored it. I think she survived
@@timhawks6101 Debbie's comment was a quote from the doctor narrating this video at 9:14. That is why she used quotation marks. I have had a testicle quadruple in size due to a condition known as hydrocele where a fluid sac forms around a testicle. Minor surgery followed by a few days of pain and I'm good as new again.
This presenter has got to be one of the best I have ever seen and heard. He speaks clearly, is interesting to listen to and gives you clear demonstrations for reference. Fantastic video!! Long may this quality continue!!
Yes I was curious in the beginning and wasn’t sure I really wanted to watch it but once I started listening to him he made it totally fascinating. So glad I did watch.
@@jollytemplar3670 Yeah I hate live human lungs. Whenever I squeeze them it's often accompanied by a scream and "Please let me go I'll do whatever you want". Ugh such a hassle.
My grandpa had a lobe of lung removed due to a spot of cancer. Doesn't seem to have impaired him though. That man has had cancer in various areas of his body at least two or three times and yet has made it to 87 years old and is still alive.
I would like to say something here on this topic. I was one of those students dissecting a real human body. To us, there was a difference between the person, to whom this body belonged, and the body itself. We were grateful to that person for allowing us to study and learn so we could become doctors to serve others and treat problems.while keeping our emotions and objectiveness intact. We had to. There is so much to learn as the human body is undoubtedly the most complicated machine in the universe. So the time to weep was kept to a minimum while we struggled to learn. And thanks to the people that donate, I think we honored their memory as best we could.
My dad gave the gift of his whole body donation in 2017 after ALS and heart failure took his life. I am still in awe of him, and have always wondered how he was treated by his students.
I want to let you know that I had the honor to be in an anatomy class and we attended a lab of people who had donated their bodies. We were all very respectful and grateful for people like your dad. For me, it truly was a life changing experience. I definitely will not forget the sacrifice the people make in the name of science.
I've taken anatomy, and from experience, we do not get to see the cadavers until after a reasonable amount of time. This gives the teacher time to weed out the students who are not taking it seriously and have dropped the class. I was extremely grateful to the man and woman who gave their bodies to science, and in awe that I received the privilege to learn from them. I'm sorry about the loss of your father.
I just had a 10 cm mucinous cystic neoplasm removed from my pancreas. The cyst had stolen blood supply from my splenic artery and attached to a part of my stomach. I ended up losing my spleen, about 2.5 inches of my pancreas, and a small portion of my stomach. It would be really interesting to see you guys talk about pancreatic cysts or the function of the spleen/what happens after a splenectomy as all of this is new for me. Thank you for your videos. They are very entertaining and informative and I watched them a lot in the hospital. 💕
@@MistaGSpecialEducation it has effected my life quite a bit since I had it removed. It’s part of the immune system, so I’m immunocompromised and I get sick more often now. I also have high platelets which never came down after the surgery. I definitely miss my spleen 😫
While I may not be a med student, these videos are so insightful and very intriguing learning about the body. It really opens a whole new perspective on health.
Many thanks to y'all for sharing your anatomical knowledge with the world. Recently my brother passed away after a two-year battle with glioblastoma. He had decided many years ago to donate his body to the local medical school. Although I had signed up to be an organ donor, also long ago, I was quite humbled by his generous gift. Is it possible to both donate ones viable organs to others and to donate the remains as an anatomical gift as well? Would there be any useful educational purpose from such a gift? Again, thank you both, and all those who assist you in creating these fascinating videos, for the excellent educational resource you provide. I look forward, hopefully, to your response.
As a younger person, I feel kind of alone at school because no one else is crazy into biology, anatomy, and such. This channel really helps me learn, and meet people who have similar interests to mine. I really appreciate it. please keep doing what your doing and inspiring so many people 😁🫀🫁🧠
Absolutely fascinating! I am 81 and made my body donation several years ago. After all, I won't be using it any more so why not make it a tool to help educate future doctors! The ultimate recycling!
My father broke his leg skiing as a young man. It was a long, diagonal break that the doctors repaired with a couple of stainless steel screws. When he was older, he was fond of telling everyone who would listen that whatever happened, he still had two good screws left in him. My mother was equally fond of commenting that she would very much like to see them.
I’m enjoying these refreshers. I was a dentist and am retired now after 40 yrs of practice. My dental education included gross anatomy with full cadaver dissection. Yep, head to toe. With a refresher of just head and neck before clinical practice. Professors were fantastic and especially one. Dr Moreland was from Louisiana, and was a full blood Cajun, accent and all. He made anatomy fun and funny. No females in my class of 130 so some of his mnemonics to remember everything were quite entertaining. Oi have forgotten a lot, so watching these videos brings back a lot of memories when I would go home at the end of a long hard day in the lab reeking of phenol and causing my wife to demand I take my clothes off before I entered our apartment. Lots of clothes washing for her. Thanks for your time with these videos. I am a lifelong student and am still learning. Makes retirement great.
It’s really crazy how all those organs and tissue and muscles fit inside the body. Looking at a real human body’s organs are much different then the organs you would find in text books
@@h3xagon0001 the lungs appear to be smaller because I believe they are somewhat collapsed at this stage. Lungs are built like a tent and I seems that at some point after death their internal construction goes limp
I was hoping by “craziest things I’ve found in a dead body” he meant a sprouted watermelon seed, monopoly game piece, multicolored glitter, or something that was that sort of “crazy” haha
@@kristinabliss omg, I don't need to search for either of your suggestions because I've watched documentaries on both! I blame early 2000s Maury Povich and our Family Circle medical/first aid guide for kick-starting my interest in weird body/brain things. The lady who was "pregnant" for like 25 years because... well, fear and poor medical care. Something went wrong when she was meant to give birth, and the baby was never born. Her immune system basically calcified it like it does for a foreign body. Eventually she got medical treatment and the calcified baby was removed. Teratomas are so weird and cool. The "Monsters Inside Me" show detailed a time when somebody's immune system started attacking their brain, because they had a teratoma that had brain cells in it.
@@rtaijahyches8834 An extinct species of hominin (basically a species of human) that lived alongside humans. They (like us) branched off from homo-erectus (an earlier hominin) and then migrated across Europe and Central Asia. They were typically a bit more stocky and also a bit shorter than humans, but showed intelligence that was on par with them, sharing in a lot of things like ceremonial burial of the dead, advanced planning (like this one site, where they trapped a ton a mammoths in this one area to die, indicating some sort of language for this endeavor), and empathy (there is a find where there was a deaf neanderthal that had to have been cared for by their tribe). While it's debatable how they compared to humans at the time, they seemed incredibly similar, except for one detail: they required more calorie-dense diets. Living in the North meant that they would have less food, and need more of it, keeping their numbers down compared to humans. There are a number of theories for their extinction, but the one I personally subscribe to is the notion that humans interbred with them until they were absorbed into the population (evidenced by the fact most europeans have some neanderthal DNA in them), which would make sense what with their high caloric need and lower population. Regardless, they are gone now, but their DNA lives on in humans from around Europe and Asia. You might even carry a part of their history inside you. There were other hominins, like the Flores Islander and the homo-denisovans, but the neanderthals are the most known among them (besides us). Woah what a way to start my day. I just typed a whole fuggin' essay on neanderthals. Time to get to work on this one thing. Ciao.
My grandpa says he wants to donate to science. I had mixed feelings about it until I watched a reskill course for emergency techs with 3 cadavers. So interesting. Thank you for anyone considering. It is so respectfully done.
This is the best way to show humans whats their insides actually look like healthy / unhealthy. Most of time we see it thru an illustration or animation. Thank you IHA for the excellent work you guys put in and for sharing it with us to educate everyone. It gives us a better perspective of whats happening on the inside. Thank you as well, for the respect of those who have donated themselves to everyone's education.
It really pulls into perspective how important every day for every person is, huh? Once you're dead, you're just a collection of parts on a table. Please go and make the most of your narrow time!!!! Dare to things you were too scared to do, and reach for things you never think you could. Even if you don't succeed, at least you tried. Even without success, an experience is of value. Please don't let the now go to waste.
Depending on what u believe, the "person" still exists, they just no longer occupy that particular body (vessel). It's NOT a religious thing, it's spiritual. I know it's not exactly comforting, it's just nice to know that the energy (soul) that leaves the body upon physical death can never "die", it can only change form & go somewhere else. I like to believe that means physical death of a body does not mean death of the person at all.
@@Missperidoteyes11 Do you have literally any evidence at all to justify your belief? What you're saying is dangerous, because you're trying to tell someone that the only existence that we know of for sure doesn't matter. Why should it, if we simply move on to experience something else once our time here is over? Why should I bother with anything if I'm just waiting to die and experience something new afterwards? Fuck that. Live NOW. That's the point of my comment. And best of all, it doesn't rely on any "spirituality", or "religion", or anything.
@@smogstreaming everyone is entitled to believe whatever they wish. We as humans are given a life of free will. If you wish to do some soul searching you may come across others that have " died and come back" or " almost died" and listen to their experience. There will never be hard concrete evidence of life after death. You have to just make your own conclusions. I don't think what Bambi said was "dangerous" at all. We all have the choice to live life with purpose or live recklessly and anywhere in-between... Make it what you want. We will all figure it out someday.
@@smogstreaming Ok, first, I wasn't replying to your comment, in fact I didn't even read it. I was replying to the original commenter. Secondly, that's why I specifically started my comment w "Depending on what u believe...", because I wasn't trying to push my opinion on that person (or anyone else for that matter). I was simply doing the same exact thing YOU did, using the comment section for it's intended purpose. What I said was not "dangerous" at all, it's ONLY MY belief. Ironically what YOU did WAS dangerous, as u manipulated my words into your OWN narrative & told me I was trying to convince someone else of an idea (w a negative connotation at that), that I absolutely did NOT insinuate at all! Just because u perceived what I said that way, does not mean anyone else did (hence the person that responded before me). We all are entitled to our own opinion, which is why we all left one. Difference is, I didn't harp on u for yours, as you did me for mine. Actually, a good old fashioned "thumbs down" would've sufficed. Also, to ask me if I "literally have any evidence at all to justify your belief?" is pointless. Either way, I'm not obligated to "justify" MY belief to anyone, & I wouldn't have to anyway. That's why it's called a "belief " lol. Oh & lastly, there IS scientific evidence proving the part I mentioned about energy not "dying" (or able to be destroyed), that it only changes form. That's a whole other topic though. I hope I answered your question & responded in a way that u understand where I'm coming from. If not, I apologize, I tried though. Also my intention wasn't to come across rude or anything. I'm not into arguing semantics, & don't do the back & forth online (not implying that u DO, just saying). Sorry this was so long, I didn't realize I wrote so much lol Be well!
Weird thought, but I'm reminded of how people pack suitcases: a little bag for socks, a little bag for toiletries, a little bag for shirts, etc. and you stick all of these little bags in the suitcase to keep it from getting mixed up. Seems like the body does the same thing: a series of little bags and separators to keep everything neat.
As a young guy I wheeled many bodies to the morgue and later burned many bodies at a crematorium. One old gent, a World War One vet, was being prepped for cremation, and the clank, clank, clank of metal caught my ear, so I went to investigate. The guys were removing old shrapnel from the body (leaving lots of holes and pits), and they even came across a couple of bullets and bullet fragments. But that isn't what really caught their attention: they had come across chunks of bone, and the bone wasn't from the old gent. There was a piece of jaw and a piece of pelvis. One of his mates had apparently been blown up by a bomb or mortar and pieces of him had ended up inside our old gent. Those pieces were probably thrown out, but all these years later I can't help but wonder if, in this age of DNA-testing, the identify of the bone-donor could have been identified. After all, he was probably listed as "missing in action". Did they save those bits? I can't remember.
My daughter had an infection in her heel from a cut that the ER didn't clean well enough, or stitch it up. Within 2 weeks, it was so infected, she went to another hospital, they said gangrene had started setting in and the had to put a pic line to her heart with strong antibiotics to keep the infection from getting to her heart and killing her. She was admitted into the hospital, and within a week, they had to amputate her heel. They sand blasted it out, cut her aciles tendon. She was supposed to go back to have it re attached, but she didnt want to go thru anymore of that. She is ok now. She still walks well and even wears her high heels even tho her aciles tendon is severed. I have the problems of the cysts on the ovaries, for many years. It's very painful, but you can always tell when they are going away when you feel that really big super cramping pain from the cyst/s bursting, then, no more pain, until they come back in a year or so. Heating pad and pain meds get me thru them. I had a hysterectomy in 2005, so I know it's not from the dreaded monthly visitor. I had an emergency abdominal hysterectomy. I had 24 fibroids on my uterus and the back of my uterus had grown onto my colon and I bled for 3 months straight. My Gyno said he understood now why I was always in so much pain every month. It's no picnic for us ladies! Being able to watch your videos, helps make us more aware of our internal organs, so we can get regular checkups and take care of ourselves to prevent some of these things. Thanks for posting them! 👍😁
Not saying the ER didn’t make mistakes, however you don’t suture heel lacerations, because they are prone to infection. I don’t know why you wouldn’t have been prescribed prophylactic antibiotics for her, or if there was a problem with admin, why they wouldn’t have scheduled her follow up, or advised you to do so, or is she missed all of those. Also, not super sure why they would ignore an infection that was systemic, or how her caretakers couldn’t see that there was an issue with the wound as it was rotting…. Or you’re lying who knows, not saying that every single mistake was on the part of the Med teams, in order for weeks without you noticing, AND your child showed no signs of infection, distress or pain for weeks until another hospital team informed you that the child had gangrene ( which isn’t caused by an infected cut, it’s caused by venous insufficiency, unless you’re in the movies) but it’s possible you’re not lying, pretty unlikely but possible. how does she manage to keep the high heels on with part of her heel missing? How does she control the movement of her lower leg to walk in them without an Achilles?
I had a hysterectomy at the age of 30, they took everything but my ovaries. It has helped a lot, but I have had 2 ruptured ovarian cysts since. Ended up in hospital both times, but because they were already ruptured they just monitored me (I had vomiting, diarrhoea, constantly peeing, the urge to push or bear down and was dehydrated). It is tough being a woman sometimes.
The fact that the omentum can move around and encapsulate certain areas to try and prevent the spread of infection is insane to me. I already knew the body was an amazing thing, but I never knew about the omentum and it just refreshed my "wow" opinion of everything that's working inside me without me even knowing.
I'm an xray tech and I've recently had a patient with Situs inversus partialis. His heart and the both lungs were on the wrong side. Super interesting!
What's it called when your organs are flipped in orientation?? 🙈 I think my mom has this. Not sure if it can be passed down or not, but I kinda wanna know if I have it.
@@tantricia44 The doctor at work said that many patients experience no problems or complications at all, they can live totally normal lives! But apparently it's a bit more common for them to have problems with their hearts.
My dad was born with two tongues. One normal sized and fully functional tongue, and another underneath it that was about the size of a nickel and could only twitch slightly. His dentist speculates that he suffered a minor injury in utero, causing a bundle of cells that would have been part of his tongue to split off from the rest. It's caused him no problems but it's definitely strange.
I took a Human Anatomy dissection class in my undergrad and found a bicep with 3 heads rather than 2. Originally thought we were looking at the tricep but we were wrong. Althoughth this is not as interesting as the examples in this video, it is extremely fascinating to see the variation that can exist in human bodies! One of the best classes I have ever taken and I give a big thanks to all donors for the once in a lifetime experience I got in that class!
I agree. I loved my anatomy class. And it's interesting to see how everybody has something interesting going on in their bodies that's not necessarily by the book so to speak. And yet they have no issues at all and probably never knew about it in most cases.
In my Anatomy class (for nurses) we had a section with human cadavers (no dissection). Before then were strongly lectured on what we could & couldn't touch. Respectful behavior was required. Very interesting.
My 89 year old grandpa (terminal cancer) signed up 3 weeks ago to donate his body. He was diagnosed with jaundice today and has a few weeks to live. He’ll make it to 90! So, at first I was upset his daughter (my mom) allowed him to do this as he’s confused in conversation and forgets people around him, but, after watching this, I hope his body helps others learn and I feel much, much better about it all. So thanks. 😊 Edit: grammar
Wow- thank you everyone! He’s in WA and I’m in AZ but my mom and brother are caring for him. The nurse said any day now... his birthday is July 6th but whether he makes it til his bday or not, he’ll always be the toughest guy I ever knew. I assume we won’t have a funeral until his body is returned. I don’t have the heart to ask the details right now. ❤️❤️❤️
Many of these people who get donated don't have proper burials and or can be discarded inappropriately. You would think that when done experimenting they would at least lay them to rest respectively.
I know of a case where the patient was missing one of the divisions between two lobes on the right. They still had two lobes, but they were fused. It made the surgery go longer because they were removing one of the fused lobes. (Tumor, benign)
We found plastic tubing in a forearm, nerve anomalies, and breast implants. Also one woman's entire abdominal cavity was stained green from bile. The cadaver I dissected personally was a 54 year old male who died from cardiac arrest. He had a funky smell the rest of the cadavers in the lab didn't have. He also bled every time we cut through blood vessels. I theorized that his artieres were so clogged that he couldn't be perfused well during prep.
This was GREAT TO WATCH! My profession in life was an RN and my Dad was a Physician and Medical Examinar. Plus, I had the greatest experience of working with him. I am amazed and so glad to have seen your presentation. THANK YOU!

As a patient with endometriosis, I’m begging you, Please learn about endometriosis. If you are in any medical field, please become aware of this common, debilitating disease that’s full of suffering and nearly impossible to detect on scans. From Reddit: “Assisted with a post mortem when I was a student. Female patient died in her 40s. Her medical history had extreme complaints of abdominal pain, 1 doctor even referred to her As a “hypochondriac” and others commented on apparent anxiety. Opened her abdomen and she had extensive scar tissue. She was absolutely macerated inside from endometriosis. She suffered for decades and never got referred for laparoscopy. She didn’t have fucking anxiety, she had a medical condition. “
Endometriosis is fairly easy to diagnose and even easier to treat once detected. Most ob/gyns can diagnose it before even doing a laproscopy which is also allows them to scrape the dried blood from around the ovaries, or wherever the dried blood has splattered and dried too. I had laproscopies done more than 20x for abdominal pain from 18 years on & endometriosis removed several times after having cysts bleeding inside themselves rupture. They still hadn't known why some women experience endometriosis and other's don't, as it's simply the blood splatter from the normal menstrual cycle that accumulates at certain times. Some women only have the issue once and then never again, where other's experience more often.
@@pamelamorris3148 I’m sorry but as someone with endometriosis it was not easy to diagnose at all, I spent 9 years fighting my doctor and know many women through support groups who are going through the same and WORSE issues, it’s also not easy to treat as it’s so individual. There is no cure, you’re just putting out fires everyday. I don’t know if you meant to sound so flippant.
I dissected a cadaver in a massage anatomy class 30 years ago…there were 16 bodies around the room, 6 students to a body. Every body had a little something different in them. One body had pink colored knees, the physician teaching wasn’t sure what they were! It was so interesting…missing fascia, missing bones. Great channel, and I appreciate people donating their bodies to science. ♥️
The human body is an absolutely fascinating biological machine complete with, lubricants, electrical systems and a lot of moving parts down to the cellular level. Incredible.

My ovaries were enlarged due to being covered in fibroid tumors. I was a hormonal wreck!! 😳 We only found out about it because as I went to sit down one day, my left ovary twisted up. After a few hours, I was in more pain than when I had my kids so emergency surgery for me! It was awful! I never thought anything could be worse than labor pain but boy was I wrong!
I remember watching a video of a body dissection on a woman and the educator discovered she'd had breast augmentation! They'd left the implants in when she was donated. I know those tend to get taken out along with other medical devices like pacemakers for burial, especially during cremation. Hadn't occurred to me they wouldn't do so for bodies donated to science and education. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and I want to donate my body after death, I hope I can in that way contribute to better understanding of the disorder especially since there's such a paucity of research and even rheumatologists that specialize in it, never mind doctors that have even heard of it! I've struggled with anatomy in school before but seeing things described on actual bodies helps me a lot as a visual learner. Thank you all for this channel and what you do!
My father had bad heart attack 16 yrs ago, his heart was enlarged like 3x, he had surgery and they removed lots of tissue, from then only 30% of heart works, 10yrs later he had defibrilator and two wires, 4 years later had change of defib. And they could get out wires because they stuck to tissue, still loving with 30% heart working, and wires and stufff.. he is miracle to all doctors.. his heart is in really bad condition and still managed to work si long... i hope it will continue to work properly
@@schloany4479 You’d be surprised how dismissive people can be about female pain.

Really opened my eyes to how difficult it can be for women trying to find people to just believe them at their word and accept their pain and complaints.
I honestly don’t know why I find human anatomy as fascinating as I do, and enjoy watching videos like this about it. It’s kinda crazy to know that these are bodies of real humans, real people who donated themselves to help others learn. I think it’s crazy that I enjoy these things cuz I took a college biology class where we had to dissect a pig, and I refused to touch it cuz I thought it was gross and didn’t like the squishy feeling lol, but looking at it is fine.

Many years ago, the professor of anatomy at the local community college would hold a “Service of Remembrance and Gratitude” at the end of each semester to honor and thank the donors. Attendance was not mandatory, but he told me almost everyone of his nursing and pre-med students would show up. I thought it was such a wonderful and respectful thing to do. Your video is the first time I’ve ever seen the inside of a human body. What a marvel of engineering it is! Thank you!
That was a very, very appropriate and respectful initiative from the professor. I think that a national day of the donor is not an outlandish idea. So many people owe their survival to the donors and the knowledge created thanks to them!

That would be lit. My mom in law worked for a plastic surgeon and she was like “you’ll never wanna get Botox once you hear where it comes from” and I thought it could be like cow fetuses or some shit like that and she was like “it comes from organ donor skin” I laughed and I was like “oh so it’s all natural?! Sign me up!” Then she was like “so that wouldn’t discourage you to be an organ donor?” I said “nope, I mean if I can help someone get rid of some wrinkles by all means, I figured they’ll probably get a few syringes out of my rear end, I’ll gladly be of service” and she just sat there shook. Lmao. If I’m not using those organs anymore and they’re usable, by all means, have at it, take what you need, dissect my body, learn some stuff and then incinerate me. 😂

The human body dissected isn’t as gross as I thought it would be. It’s fascinating seeing each part of a body explained as part of a whole, rather than in separate parts like in most health diagrams.
It is gross when dissected.
The blood is what makes it gross
Probably because they dont show the whole body usually. Seeing a few organds or tissue at a time makes it feel like you are looking at a teaching aid.
However, looking at the whole body, the face, and especially the eyes would probably remind you that its human remains. Then it would be a bit disturbing.

@Patiem1942 They should notice... because, when the gallbladder is present, there will be a dark green stain on the right side under the liver, without the gallbladder the dark green stain wouldn't be there. The green color is from the bile that is stored in the gallbladder. Also... the gallbladder looks like a pouch -- and it wouldn't be there.
Is that all you got going for you? Not having a gallbladder? And you're excited for the day of your death?
Hopefully, you're not one of the unlucky bodies that gets donated to "scientifically" be used for blast tests in a government facility. Yes, this does happen.

An important part of anatomy class is being respectful of the dead. All students and teachers learn/know this. You are required to do certain things to preserve the privacy of each individual deceased and the families. You may not do anything without the family's or deceased's permission. You'll notice he doesn't show the face or any distinguishing features.
You can get kicked out of University if you don't respect the donors bodies in Anatomy. Btw my Anatomy Professor was a Christian.
Very gentle.
When I was told anatomy many years ago, there was a sign in Latin over the door: "MORTUI VIVOS DOCENT" - the dead teaches the living. Of course we were respectful to the ones helping us with studying the art of the human body.
When I did dissection, we were always awed by the gift someone had given us... but we also separated the "person" from the body, if that makes sense. We weren't dissecting a person, we were dissecting the body- and that body taught us about the person, their life... it was so amazing. I still now, nearly 40 years later, can see the structures and remember how awed were were at the absolute magnificence of the body...

I ended up with an unplanned C section 10 hours after my water broke at home and frequent, painful contractions started right away. By the time we drove to the hospital, they had stopped and I never dilated enough to give birth. The incision was easy because the doctor cut through the scar tissue from the ovary removal but it got infected and I spent 11 days in the hospital with a high fever and postpartum depression and that was horrible. My son was there in the nursery the whole time and that helped me get through it. We did not try for another baby because he did not sleep through the night until he was 4 and stopped nursing and I was too exhausted.

It's been 11 years, now I can finally visualise what happened to my wife.
The Wimpy Omentum developed tumours, slowly pushing on her organs as her abdomen became more and more distended, and within a few months, had spread to her lungs and brain.
I felt so sorry for the young girl, but a local cashier one day, innocently asked if my wife was pregnant, as over time, it would have looked that way.
My wife was gentle about the honest mistake... poor girl will never ask that question again, it wasn't her fault, she just asked the 'one in a million' that day, any other day she would have been right.
The effects of cancer ripples through the community....
Nine months from diagnosis to dust.
im so sorry, the last line rly shook me "nine months from diagnosis to dust"
I lost 2 aunts and an uncle to cancer, between 2007 and 2021. Not from some awful kinds of occupational exposure, just bad genetics, really. University students linked it to a mutation in one of my aunts' BRCA genes just experimenting with one of her posthumous samples. I can't imagine how my grandmother could feel, having 3 of her children die before her. Cancer is a real mother@#$%er.
So sorry for your loss.
F cancer. I watched the channel Jenny Apple. She survived about 18 months with cancer all throughout, she beat cancer at 33. Her husband runs the channel now as he navigates raising their two kiddos. I think yall would understand each other on a level few of us really can. Grief is a pain like no other, when you feel up to it. Please Google "grief is like a ball in a box" it really helped me after my dad died. The Apples would say that your wife beat cancer, because it ended with her last breath too. I think that's a helpful perspective. There's no more pain or painful medical visits, just eternal peace. ❤
I'm so,so sorry 😞
my best friend had an enormous ovarian cyst. she didn't realise how bad it was until she collapsed in the shower one day and was rushed to the hospital. her cyst was the size of a duck egg and had to be surgically removed. she really thought the pain was just menstrual cramps and ignored them, i'm still in awe and so grateful she's alive!
The things women blame their cramps for! I think there was a story on someone who was bleeding on the inside because one of her organs was malfunctioning and burst. Of course, she thought they were just cramps until she filled up buckets of vomit and was rushed to see a doctor.She survived.
Sending my best wishes to your friend, yourself and your families, I'm sure you had a tough time. Very happy for all of you that the special friend survived, and I send you all the good blessings!
Whoa, she must have been living in constant extreme pain. What a trooper. Bless her.
My friend, for years had same problems. I told her to talk to him about getting a complete hystorectomy, as I had too. Sure enough, no more pain, no more bleeding and no more burning all the cysts. The doctor should have talked to her, before all the hell she went through years. Of course now, no worries about ovaerin cancer etc.
Ovarian cysts are a lot more common, then most women think.
@@aoifedeborha2420 another story I had remembered was a woman who had a heart attack but she thought it was just period cramps so she ignored it. I think she survived

@@timhawks6101 Debbie's comment was a quote from the doctor narrating this video at 9:14. That is why she used quotation marks.

This was fascinating and I’m not a medical student. I learned a lot watching. This doctor clearly loves what he does, he’s a great teacher.

I love that he acknowledges that the bodies were people and not just cadavers
I don't.
And how he speaks at a level you can actually understand.
Even in death, they are still people.
I would like to say something here on this topic. I was one of those students dissecting a real human body. To us, there was a difference between the person, to whom this body belonged, and the body itself. We were grateful to that person for allowing us to study and learn so we could become doctors to serve others and treat problems.while keeping our emotions and objectiveness intact. We had to. There is so much to learn as the human body is undoubtedly the most complicated machine in the universe. So the time to weep was kept to a minimum while we struggled to learn. And thanks to the people that donate, I think we honored their memory as best we could.
❤
My dad gave the gift of his whole body donation in 2017 after ALS and heart failure took his life. I am still in awe of him, and have always wondered how he was treated by his students.
I want to let you know that I had the honor to be in an anatomy class and we attended a lab of people who had donated their bodies. We were all very respectful and grateful for people like your dad. For me, it truly was a life changing experience. I definitely will not forget the sacrifice the people make in the name of science.
I've taken anatomy, and from experience, we do not get to see the cadavers until after a reasonable amount of time. This gives the teacher time to weed out the students who are not taking it seriously and have dropped the class. I was extremely grateful to the man and woman who gave their bodies to science, and in awe that I received the privilege to learn from them. I'm sorry about the loss of your father.
I just had a 10 cm mucinous cystic neoplasm removed from my pancreas. The cyst had stolen blood supply from my splenic artery and attached to a part of my stomach. I ended up losing my spleen, about 2.5 inches of my pancreas, and a small portion of my stomach. It would be really interesting to see you guys talk about pancreatic cysts or the function of the spleen/what happens after a splenectomy as all of this is new for me.
Thank you for your videos. They are very entertaining and informative and I watched them a lot in the hospital. 💕
A spleenectomy won't effect your life that much. The spleen just stores extra oxygenated blood and releases it when we need it.
@@MistaGSpecialEducation it has effected my life quite a bit since I had it removed. It’s part of the immune system, so I’m immunocompromised and I get sick more often now. I also have high platelets which never came down after the surgery. I definitely miss my spleen 😫

Many thanks to y'all for sharing your anatomical knowledge with the world. Recently my brother passed away after a two-year battle with glioblastoma. He had decided many years ago to donate his body to the local medical school. Although I had signed up to be an organ donor, also long ago, I was quite humbled by his generous gift. Is it possible to both donate ones viable organs to others and to donate the remains as an anatomical gift as well? Would there be any useful educational purpose from such a gift? Again, thank you both, and all those who assist you in creating these fascinating videos, for the excellent educational resource you provide. I look forward, hopefully, to your response.
As a younger person, I feel kind of alone at school because no one else is crazy into biology, anatomy, and such. This channel really helps me learn, and meet people who have similar interests to mine. I really appreciate it. please keep doing what your doing and inspiring so many people 😁🫀🫁🧠
maybe this is a calling for the medical profession...
Absolutely fascinating! I am 81 and made my body donation several years ago. After all, I won't be using it any more so why not make it a tool to help educate future doctors! The ultimate recycling!
You are an amazing human being
Good work. Amen
I wanna see the future before I die
Thank you sir! Hope you live a happy life long long enough however!
As a future doctor just before starting medical school, I thank you!
My father had open heart surgery in the “80’s and they found a partially formed extra valve. Just proves that not everybody fits in a textbook.

@@altonb93 And still kicking at 86!
My father broke his leg skiing as a young man. It was a long, diagonal break that the doctors repaired with a couple of stainless steel screws. When he was older, he was fond of telling everyone who would listen that whatever happened, he still had two good screws left in him. My mother was equally fond of commenting that she would very much like to see them.
Wow so they don't remove the screws and metal plates on the legs after a few months? I thought they were temporary
@@Amandaaaaaa123 nah. the bone grows around the screws and heals. removing them has no real positive effect and only causes a needless surgery.

I’m enjoying these refreshers. I was a dentist and am retired now after 40 yrs of practice. My dental education included gross anatomy with full cadaver dissection. Yep, head to toe. With a refresher of just head and neck before clinical practice. Professors were fantastic and especially one. Dr Moreland was from Louisiana, and was a full blood Cajun, accent and all. He made anatomy fun and funny. No females in my class of 130 so some of his mnemonics to remember everything were quite entertaining. Oi have forgotten a lot, so watching these videos brings back a lot of memories when I would go home at the end of a long hard day in the lab reeking of phenol and causing my wife to demand I take my clothes off before I entered our apartment. Lots of clothes washing for her. Thanks for your time with these videos. I am a lifelong student and am still learning. Makes retirement great.

Like the lungs are so much more smaller and the heart is much bigger compared in the textbooks
@@h3xagon0001 the lungs appear to be smaller because I believe they are somewhat collapsed at this stage. Lungs are built like a tent and I seems that at some point after death their internal construction goes limp

Do a search for lithopedion (stone baby). Results should fill your need for weirdness inside the body.
Oh...and teratoma
Thats what i thought to
That bubble gum I swallowed seven years ago.
@@kristinabliss omg, I don't need to search for either of your suggestions because I've watched documentaries on both! I blame early 2000s Maury Povich and our Family Circle medical/first aid guide for kick-starting my interest in weird body/brain things.
The lady who was "pregnant" for like 25 years because... well, fear and poor medical care. Something went wrong when she was meant to give birth, and the baby was never born. Her immune system basically calcified it like it does for a foreign body. Eventually she got medical treatment and the calcified baby was removed.
Teratomas are so weird and cool. The "Monsters Inside Me" show detailed a time when somebody's immune system started attacking their brain, because they had a teratoma that had brain cells in it.

What is neandetthal?
*grunts*
@@rtaijahyches8834 An extinct species of hominin (basically a species of human) that lived alongside humans. They (like us) branched off from homo-erectus (an earlier hominin) and then migrated across Europe and Central Asia. They were typically a bit more stocky and also a bit shorter than humans, but showed intelligence that was on par with them, sharing in a lot of things like ceremonial burial of the dead, advanced planning (like this one site, where they trapped a ton a mammoths in this one area to die, indicating some sort of language for this endeavor), and empathy (there is a find where there was a deaf neanderthal that had to have been cared for by their tribe). While it's debatable how they compared to humans at the time, they seemed incredibly similar, except for one detail: they required more calorie-dense diets. Living in the North meant that they would have less food, and need more of it, keeping their numbers down compared to humans. There are a number of theories for their extinction, but the one I personally subscribe to is the notion that humans interbred with them until they were absorbed into the population (evidenced by the fact most europeans have some neanderthal DNA in them), which would make sense what with their high caloric need and lower population. Regardless, they are gone now, but their DNA lives on in humans from around Europe and Asia. You might even carry a part of their history inside you. There were other hominins, like the Flores Islander and the homo-denisovans, but the neanderthals are the most known among them (besides us).

man, all i could think about is the fact that these dead bodies used to have a life, memories and thoughts and now, they're dead.
It really pulls into perspective how important every day for every person is, huh? Once you're dead, you're just a collection of parts on a table. Please go and make the most of your narrow time!!!! Dare to things you were too scared to do, and reach for things you never think you could. Even if you don't succeed, at least you tried. Even without success, an experience is of value. Please don't let the now go to waste.
Depending on what u believe, the "person" still exists, they just no longer occupy that particular body (vessel). It's NOT a religious thing, it's spiritual. I know it's not exactly comforting, it's just nice to know that the energy (soul) that leaves the body upon physical death can never "die", it can only change form & go somewhere else. I like to believe that means physical death of a body does not mean death of the person at all.
@@Missperidoteyes11 Do you have literally any evidence at all to justify your belief? What you're saying is dangerous, because you're trying to tell someone that the only existence that we know of for sure doesn't matter. Why should it, if we simply move on to experience something else once our time here is over? Why should I bother with anything if I'm just waiting to die and experience something new afterwards?
Fuck that. Live NOW. That's the point of my comment. And best of all, it doesn't rely on any "spirituality", or "religion", or anything.
@@smogstreaming everyone is entitled to believe whatever they wish. We as humans are given a life of free will. If you wish to do some soul searching you may come across others that have " died and come back" or " almost died" and listen to their experience. There will never be hard concrete evidence of life after death. You have to just make your own conclusions. I don't think what Bambi said was "dangerous" at all. We all have the choice to live life with purpose or live recklessly and anywhere in-between... Make it what you want. We will all figure it out someday.
@@smogstreaming Ok, first, I wasn't replying to your comment, in fact I didn't even read it. I was replying to the original commenter. Secondly, that's why I specifically started my comment w "Depending on what u believe...", because I wasn't trying to push my opinion on that person (or anyone else for that matter). I was simply doing the same exact thing YOU did, using the comment section for it's intended purpose. What I said was not "dangerous" at all, it's ONLY MY belief. Ironically what YOU did WAS dangerous, as u manipulated my words into your OWN narrative & told me I was trying to convince someone else of an idea (w a negative connotation at that), that I absolutely did NOT insinuate at all! Just because u perceived what I said that way, does not mean anyone else did (hence the person that responded before me). We all are entitled to our own opinion, which is why we all left one. Difference is, I didn't harp on u for yours, as you did me for mine. Actually, a good old fashioned "thumbs down" would've sufficed. Also, to ask me if I "literally have any evidence at all to justify your belief?" is pointless. Either way, I'm not obligated to "justify" MY belief to anyone, & I wouldn't have to anyway. That's why it's called a "belief " lol. Oh & lastly, there IS scientific evidence proving the part I mentioned about energy not "dying" (or able to be destroyed), that it only changes form. That's a whole other topic though. I hope I answered your question & responded in a way that u understand where I'm coming from. If not, I apologize, I tried though. Also my intention wasn't to come across rude or anything. I'm not into arguing semantics, & don't do the back & forth online (not implying that u DO, just saying). Sorry this was so long, I didn't realize I wrote so much lol Be well!
Weird thought, but I'm reminded of how people pack suitcases: a little bag for socks, a little bag for toiletries, a little bag for shirts, etc. and you stick all of these little bags in the suitcase to keep it from getting mixed up. Seems like the body does the same thing: a series of little bags and separators to keep everything neat.
If that is something you find interesting, you will definitely enjoy a class on human anatomy, even an introductory class!

Nice analogy.
As a young guy I wheeled many bodies to the morgue and later burned many bodies at a crematorium. One old gent, a World War One vet, was being prepped for cremation, and the clank, clank, clank of metal caught my ear, so I went to investigate. The guys were removing old shrapnel from the body (leaving lots of holes and pits), and they even came across a couple of bullets and bullet fragments. But that isn't what really caught their attention: they had come across chunks of bone, and the bone wasn't from the old gent. There was a piece of jaw and a piece of pelvis. One of his mates had apparently been blown up by a bomb or mortar and pieces of him had ended up inside our old gent. Those pieces were probably thrown out, but all these years later I can't help but wonder if, in this age of DNA-testing, the identify of the bone-donor could have been identified. After all, he was probably listed as "missing in action". Did they save those bits? I can't remember.
My daughter had an infection in her heel from a cut that the ER didn't clean well enough, or stitch it up.
Within 2 weeks, it was so infected, she went to another hospital, they said gangrene had started setting in and the had to put a pic line to her heart with strong antibiotics to keep the infection from getting to her heart and killing her. She was admitted into the hospital, and within a week, they had to amputate her heel. They sand blasted it out, cut her aciles tendon. She was supposed to go back to have it re attached, but she didnt want to go thru anymore of that. She is ok now. She still walks well and even wears her high heels even tho her aciles tendon is severed.
I have the problems of the cysts on the ovaries, for many years. It's very painful, but you can always tell when they are going away when you feel that really big super cramping pain from the cyst/s bursting, then, no more pain, until they come back in a year or so. Heating pad and pain meds get me thru them. I had a hysterectomy in 2005, so I know it's not from the dreaded monthly visitor. I had an emergency abdominal hysterectomy. I had 24 fibroids on my uterus and the back of my uterus had grown onto my colon and I bled for 3 months straight. My Gyno said he understood now why I was always in so much pain every month. It's no picnic for us ladies!
Being able to watch your videos, helps make us more aware of our internal organs, so we can get regular checkups and take care of ourselves to prevent some of these things. Thanks for posting them!

I have nerve damage in my right leg and some of my muscles don't work correctly because of a summer job I had in disaster cleanup.
That must've been tough for both of you... God bless you both. 😊💖
Not saying the ER didn’t make mistakes, however you don’t suture heel lacerations, because they are prone to infection. I don’t know why you wouldn’t have been prescribed prophylactic antibiotics for her, or if there was a problem with admin, why they wouldn’t have scheduled her follow up, or advised you to do so, or is she missed all of those. Also, not super sure why they would ignore an infection that was systemic, or how her caretakers couldn’t see that there was an issue with the wound as it was rotting…. Or you’re lying who knows, not saying that every single mistake was on the part of the Med teams, in order for weeks without you noticing, AND your child showed no signs of infection, distress or pain for weeks until another hospital team informed you that the child had gangrene ( which isn’t caused by an infected cut, it’s caused by venous insufficiency, unless you’re in the movies) but it’s possible you’re not lying, pretty unlikely but possible. how does she manage to keep the high heels on with part of her heel missing? How does she control the movement of her lower leg to walk in them without an Achilles?

I had a hysterectomy at the age of 30, they took everything but my ovaries. It has helped a lot, but I have had 2 ruptured ovarian cysts since. Ended up in hospital both times, but because they were already ruptured they just monitored me (I had vomiting, diarrhoea, constantly peeing, the urge to push or bear down and was dehydrated). It is tough being a woman sometimes.
The fact that the omentum can move around and encapsulate certain areas to try and prevent the spread of infection is insane to me. I already knew the body was an amazing thing, but I never knew about the omentum and it just refreshed my "wow" opinion of everything that's working inside me without me even knowing.
yes! I petted mine and thanked it profusely after I saw it was a healer!

My dad was born with two tongues. One normal sized and fully functional tongue, and another underneath it that was about the size of a nickel and could only twitch slightly. His dentist speculates that he suffered a minor injury in utero, causing a bundle of cells that would have been part of his tongue to split off from the rest. It's caused him no problems but it's definitely strange.
I took a Human Anatomy dissection class in my undergrad and found a bicep with 3 heads rather than 2. Originally thought we were looking at the tricep but we were wrong. Althoughth this is not as interesting as the examples in this video, it is extremely fascinating to see the variation that can exist in human bodies! One of the best classes I have ever taken and I give a big thanks to all donors for the once in a lifetime experience I got in that class!
I agree. I loved my anatomy class. And it's interesting to see how everybody has something interesting going on in their bodies that's not necessarily by the book so to speak. And yet they have no issues at all and probably never knew about it in most cases.
In my Anatomy class (for nurses) we had a section with human cadavers (no dissection). Before then were strongly lectured on what we could & couldn't touch. Respectful behavior was required. Very interesting.
Lucky. My human anatomy lab as an undergrad was memorizing flashcards
My 89 year old grandpa (terminal cancer) signed up 3 weeks ago to donate his body. He was diagnosed with jaundice today and has a few weeks to live. He’ll make it to 90!

Many of these people who get donated don't have proper burials and or can be discarded inappropriately. You would think that when done experimenting they would at least lay them to rest respectively.

We found plastic tubing in a forearm, nerve anomalies, and breast implants. Also one woman's entire abdominal cavity was stained green from bile. The cadaver I dissected personally was a 54 year old male who died from cardiac arrest. He had a funky smell the rest of the cadavers in the lab didn't have. He also bled every time we cut through blood vessels. I theorized that his artieres were so clogged that he couldn't be perfused well during prep.
I wonder if the body with the bile duct leak had gallbladder surgery, can be an issue w that.
You know you're a med student when you say "this one has a funky smell" in cadaver lab
hahaha
His arteries were so clogged...that his heart muscle couldn't be perfused well...so cardiac arrest happened!!
Embalming wasn't done correctly, or the dead wasn't dried in the sun for long enough

From Reddit:
“Assisted with a post mortem when I was a student. Female patient died in her 40s. Her medical history had extreme complaints of abdominal pain, 1 doctor even referred to her As a “hypochondriac” and others commented on apparent anxiety. Opened her abdomen and she had extensive scar tissue. She was absolutely macerated inside from endometriosis. She suffered for decades and never got referred for laparoscopy.
She didn’t have fucking anxiety, she had a medical condition. “
Endometriosis is fairly easy to diagnose and even easier to treat once detected. Most ob/gyns can diagnose it before even doing a laproscopy which is also allows them to scrape the dried blood from around the ovaries, or wherever the dried blood has splattered and dried too. I had laproscopies done more than 20x for abdominal pain from 18 years on & endometriosis removed several times after having cysts bleeding inside themselves rupture. They still hadn't known why some women experience endometriosis and other's don't, as it's simply the blood splatter from the normal menstrual cycle that accumulates at certain times. Some women only have the issue once and then never again, where other's experience more often.
@@pamelamorris3148 I’m sorry but as someone with endometriosis it was not easy to diagnose at all, I spent 9 years fighting my doctor and know many women through support groups who are going through the same and WORSE issues, it’s also not easy to treat as it’s so individual. There is no cure, you’re just putting out fires everyday. I don’t know if you meant to sound so flippant.
@@pamelamorris3148 one might hv it easier than others. Be grateful that you got it easier compare to her
@@melissathompson9700 im sorry you still havent found ur cure. Hopefully you can find one soon and with the best doctor. Stay strong
There are studies showing how doctors pretty much ignore and downplay pain from women. It looks tied to this problem, it is honestly revolting...
I dissected a cadaver in a massage anatomy class 30 years ago…there were 16 bodies around the room, 6 students to a body. Every body had a little something different in them. One body had pink colored knees, the physician teaching wasn’t sure what they were! It was so interesting…missing fascia, missing bones. Great channel, and I appreciate people donating their bodies to science. ♥️
💜 I'M DONATING MY BODY TO SCIENCE. I WANT PEOPLE TO BE ABLE TO LEARN ANY WAY THAT IS GOING TO HELP. I'M CERTAINLY NOT GOING TO NEED IT ANYMORE ☺️🙏💜💜💜
Now you've piqued my curiosity--how did their fascia became missing ??
I know what causes ‘pink knees’ 😏😉

The human body is an absolutely fascinating biological machine complete with, lubricants, electrical systems and a lot of moving parts down to the cellular level. Incredible.
@perlz sure. If you believe that fantasy
The bible says we are "fearfully and wonderfully made", so yes the human body is fascinating. God made it that way.
@perlz There either is or isn't a god. Probably not the one we envision or believe in since religion was really just created to cope with anxiety of having no purpose or meaning in life
@@fistedasian9594 religion is a fear mongering tool designed to control the masses
@@jh2325 You need to understand the distinction between religious social institutions and the philosophical arguments and concepts of the existence of God.
People always want to control others, religion or no religion; just look at the communist dictatorships of the past and present, they all share the feature of being militantly atheistic, while also being some of the most awful and abusive states to ever exist.
Wow. This was unexpectedly not at all gruesome. Just fascinating. I wasn't sure I'd be able to watch it but now I want to look at more. I think the guy was both knowledgeable and respectful - and surprisingly normal lol.
I love this guy's energy and excitement as he explains anatomy...its infectious. You can tell that he loves what he does and is fascinated by it. I wish every teacher/professor taught their subject with the same enthusiasm!
My ovaries were enlarged due to being covered in fibroid tumors. I was a hormonal wreck!! 😳 We only found out about it because as I went to sit down one day, my left ovary twisted up. After a few hours, I was in more pain than when I had my kids so emergency surgery for me! It was awful! I never thought anything could be worse than labor pain but boy was I wrong!
😬 help now I'm worried this will happen to me. Sounds terrible
I had endometriosis that caused scar tissue to build up and one of my ovaries twisted and atrophied. Do you find organs that atrophied very often?
Super interesting. Thanks!
30 yrs later I compare EVERYTHING to labor!! Lol
That must've hurt so much, I just imagined one of my testicles getting all twisted and felt your pain, glad everything worked out well for you!!
I remember watching a video of a body dissection on a woman and the educator discovered she'd had breast augmentation! They'd left the implants in when she was donated. I know those tend to get taken out along with other medical devices like pacemakers for burial, especially during cremation. Hadn't occurred to me they wouldn't do so for bodies donated to science and education. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and I want to donate my body after death, I hope I can in that way contribute to better understanding of the disorder especially since there's such a paucity of research and even rheumatologists that specialize in it, never mind doctors that have even heard of it! I've struggled with anatomy in school before but seeing things described on actual bodies helps me a lot as a visual learner. Thank you all for this channel and what you do!
omg, I have EDS too and I'm donating my body! shame I won't be there to see the students marveling over my odd anatomy haha
Retired RN here. This was super fun and interesting. I learned some new to me interesting things! Thank you for this!
Jonathan: Thank you to everyone who donated their body to science.
Donated body: No problem, John.
from dead body you are welcome
🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣
🤣🤷
Lol
Okay, so the real question is...
Is that a real human body ? Or just a replica or something ?
My father had bad heart attack 16 yrs ago, his heart was enlarged like 3x, he had surgery and they removed lots of tissue, from then only 30% of heart works, 10yrs later he had defibrilator and two wires, 4 years later had change of defib. And they could get out wires because they stuck to tissue, still loving with 30% heart working, and wires and stufff.. he is miracle to all doctors.. his heart is in really bad condition and still managed to work si long... i hope it will continue to work properly
I hope so too
I hope you and your father have a great rest of your lives you guys are probably awesome
@@junkoenoshima2756 actually he started to bully and terorise my mother and they are in divirce now .. so
@@TheDamsell well your awesome he isn't is your mother awesome?
You, my friend, are a legend. A male that acknowledges how painful an enlarged ovary is. THANKYOU!!!!
I think most people can understand how any enlarged anything would hurt pretty bad lmao
@@schloany4479 You’d be surprised how dismissive people can be about female pain. My girlfriend has endometriosis and it’s absolutely insane how many DOCTORS don’t listen to her about her pain and ignore her complications, even claim she’s faking it. Really opened my eyes to how difficult it can be for women trying to find people to just believe them at their word and accept their pain and complaints.
A normal ovary hurts like hell during period time I can’t imagine the other ovary.
@@jacksonarnold27 That happens to all kinds of people sometimes, it’s not just a women thing.
@@vejoshiraptor For sure, it just happens a lot more often to women and particularly women of color
I honestly don’t know why I find human anatomy as fascinating as I do, and enjoy watching videos like this about it. It’s kinda crazy to know that these are bodies of real humans, real people who donated themselves to help others learn. I think it’s crazy that I enjoy these things cuz I took a college biology class where we had to dissect a pig, and I refused to touch it cuz I thought it was gross and didn’t like the squishy feeling lol, but looking at it is fine. The human body is truly a marvel of science.
"thank you if you donate your body to science"
the ghost that donated their bodies: "fasho 😎"
Top comment IMO 🤣👏🏼
My ovaries hurt just seeing that enlarged one. And holy cow, my dad has a pacemaker but I never realized it was like that...
My grandfather has one too and it’s so weird now that I see it.
Haha lol
I have(had?) Pcos,once in an ultrasound one of my ovaries was as big as the uterus
@@pryscillamello5845 WOW! That sounds horrible!
@@alternativeprincess4783 doctor said i would probably never get pregnant due to pcos, but few years later i got married and had to problem getting pregnant, had 3 kids🤣🙌
I love his passion and the respect he has for the people who’ve given their bodies to his lab! His excitement was making me excited to watch and learn 😂
My corpse is going to education. If you want to put a body in the ground you are gonna spend at least 10 grand no
A ruptured appendix damn near killed me. I was 40 years old and sick as a dog when I went to the ED
Thank you for recognizing how much pain the enlarged ovary probably caused.
*"Before we get started I just wanted to say thank you to all those who donated their bodies to science."* _(Dead body rises off the table)_ *"You're welcome."*
I chose to donate my body, it’s in my will.
I read this early & was stressing out, lol.
Haaaaaaa 😬
@@o0Avalon0o Lol
scary
When I heard about what the greater omentum can do, I was shook. I’m a nurse and I’ve NEVER been taught that! Neat!
I had never even heard of it!
At 68, I just learned about the omentum prior to having a hysterectomy. (LOL- spell check doesn’t have omentum in its vocabulary!)
I’ve have pcos, fibroids, and endometriosis. I know med students would have a field day on my body! Lol
Omg, I know your periods are awful
Omg I can't imagine the cramps you would be getting . It's painful enough just having pcos .
i can feel the pain in this comment
But I don't feel pain. I also have PCOS
Bruh pcos hurts
I am donating absolutely everything I can to help save lives, then will be donating my body to Science as I have severe RA in hopes they can study for a cure. The body is an amazing thing. This channel is like attending a college course, only the professor speaks in a way you understand. Very knowledgeable!
“So again women, you are troopers, we love you and you are awesome”
We love you too my guy
I think part of what makes these videos interesting is the guys presentation skills. He comes across as very knowledgeable and skilled at getting his message across. He has the right sort of persona for doing his job if that makes any sense.
Yes, he's not boring, he speaks as he's having a conversation not lecturing.
You did an amazing job explaining these issues to non-medical people. Also you bring a good energy to these topics!
I’ve found myself binge watching. The human body is truly amazing. I’m learning a lot.
It always amazes me how this thing we call the human body is packaged and put together
GOD HAS CREATED OUR BODIES. EVEN WE ARE MORTALS, BECAUSE OF THIS WE MAY LIVE FROM 70 TO 120 YEARS, THEY ARE WONDERFUL MACHINES. CAN WE THINK HOW PERFECT WE'LL BE AS RESURRECTED BODIES??
The fact that the greater omentum can move to help fight infections just blew my mind 🤯
Same!! Such an awesome video. I learned a lot.
The human body just might be in top 3 most complex and wonderful creations of nature.
All I knew was that in the morbidly obese, the omentum impairs organ function. "It's the gut fat that kills you." I never heard of it having any useful purpose.
So if you have omentum removed during cancer surgery and replaced with mesh, what are the implications?
I know, me too!
That was epic. The greater omentum's adaptability in aiding the body to heal and stay alive just blew my mind.
Im wondering how mine is after an abdominal hernis repair with mesh... I. Am short waisted and had 2 large babies...
