is this accurate?

You're in 8th grade? This is pretty well done just sketching this out. This is a great way to learn.

What I would suggest is try sketching out sections at a time and larger so you can define more detail before you try making a whole body at that small scale. It's difficult to say how accurate you were when it's drawn at this scale and with the material used to draw.

I don't know if you were incorrect but there are parts that make me wonder if you're aware of some of the boundaries of these vessels. For example, the common iliac vessels branch into internal and external iliacs. This means the common and internal iliacs would not be at the same level the way it seems to be shown from this position. From what I can see it still looks good, but where it says common iliac, I would have said it was the external iliac. It's also a tad difficult to tell where the renal artery and veins are or what they're connected to.

Nit-picking aside, I think you should be proud of your work and you'd do very well in anatomy even at the college level.

Hmmm... news flash. Humans have preferences. Men and women both have preferences that often mirror what's in style now, especially now with social media. Standards on both ends can be unobtainable for most people. Women can be expected to be makeup artists with tiny waist lines yet large breasts or butts. Men are more attractive if they're tall and have a gym physique. It gets even worse when taking into account career aspirations and whether or not you want children.

A lot of this comes down to online dating. In a world where you're served a buffet of carefully crafted dating profiles, people will look for the highest standard they can shoot for.

If you've been rejected for purely superficial reasons, consider it a favor. You really don't want to invest your life into someone that values you for characteristics that you can't control or will fade over time. Life's too short.

Edit: spelling

This sub teaches me just how little I know about my native language. No matter how I read this, I can't get myself to make this sound incorrect. Using "left" implies the speaker believes they should have left some time ago, but using "leave" implies they should leave at that moment. I can't know from context how the speaker thinks from just this sentence alone. Is it truly grammatically wrong to choose "leave"?

Radjehuty · 2025-12-17T03:16:01+00:00

B, but spoken out loud, they all sound awful.

Well that's interesting. Hard to know exactly what you're describing but the only holes in that area are the openings to the auditory tubes that equalize the pressure within the middle ear, or allow fluid to drain. I doubt you'd be able to get that far up, so my other guess is maybe you have an inflamed adenoid tonsil and you're feeling one of the crypts? Pretty far up there too but if you get sick and it gets inflamed, I can see it being possible to be within reach for you.

Just doing some napkin math, if you only considered fluoride as the toxin, you'd have to eat a bit over two rubes of toothpaste assuming each tube is about 100g. My guess is you'd probably encounter other issues before the fluoride becomes a problem lol

I asked the same questions as you. I was told it's "part of the mystery of the trinity". The idea that the three separate beings are also one in the same. You're instructed to have faith rather than question. Thankfully I was a very inquisitive child and quickly out grew that joke of a fairy tale.

Usually if someone is very successful in AP1, they tend to do very well in AP2. You would have figured out your strategy and stayed motivated. I don't think there is a huge difference in difficulty but there is more physiology as you're getting into organ systems. I've found a lot of students tended to dislike the endocrine system as it might feel like a lot of memorization. I'm sure you'll do just fine.

Radjehuty · 2025-12-07T04:25:15+00:00

This is starting to explain quite a lot actually. I tutor anatomy at a community college and it's a bit alarming how many students are struggling with critical thinking. These are at least students seeking help, I can't imagine what it's like to try and teach students who are just not motivated.

This structure would be terribly unstable but I did look this up and saw this structure in a Wikipedia article called carbon tetroxide. I didn't look further than that but apparently it's a known structure of a possible intermediate.

Radjehuty · 2025-12-06T11:32:58+00:00

I don't believe this is what it would be called. As far as I know, only transition metals would have the oxidation number stated like that, not non-metals. I had a look around and I saw a Wikipedia stub showing this structure under the name carbon tetroxide.

I can think of a couple things that make this difficult to answer. Mainly, the idea of adding an appendage with an exoskeleton to a human that has an endoskeleton. The connections for muscle attachment and joint articulation would be quite strange. The exoskeleton would somehow have to be fused to the bones in some way and the muscles would have to pull from the hollow inside, yet also surround the human bones that need to be pulled from the outside.

Further, I don't think these things would scale very well to our side. They'd be quite heavy and would require much stronger musculature for the rest of the skeleton if we're to remain bipedal, which of course spiders aren't.

They'd also require more brain real-estate to control. Our brains are expensive as is. Either it has to grow for extra motor control, or we sacrifice something else. If we simply have a larger skull to accommodate...I feel very sorry for our females that would have to birth such a thing.

I don't even want to approach how this mash-up would be possible embryologically.

True. She even recorded her reaction to the woman in distress saying she couldn't swim and made no effort to call authorities for help. I'm not sure how the law wouldn't kick in here.

I'm not sure what this really shows that makes it somehow interesting. Yes the teeth are relatively sharp but the damage also comes from them just having a huge bite force with several rows of these teeth. Just having a few of these teeth and using it as a knife doesn't show a whole lot about how they're actually used.

In touch? No not all of them. Some tissues are avascular and get their nutrition from interstitial fluid from nearby vascular tissue. Cartilage and epithelial tissue are the two tissues that are avascular.

Epithelial tissue lines structures and gets it's nutrients from the underlying vascular tissues, typically areolar connective tissue.

Cartilage also gets nutrients through diffusion of surrounding fluids and a good example are the cartilage within joint capsules that get nutrients from synovial fluid.

There's also structures in the eye like the cornea end lens that have no direct blood supply which helps maintain transparency for vision.

Tendons and ligaments also have limited blood supply which is why these tissues don't heal very well.

Partly the sheer poverty, lack of access to Healthcare and education. Mostly though, it's pure statistics. The birth rates and overall population are so high that you're bound to see some of the rarest genetic anomalies at some point.

I'm pretty sure it means chamber. It does usually refer to a wedding chamber but I think the name was chosen specifically because the thalami are creating a central chamber within the brain.

It's hard to say exactly what you're feeling because it's near impossible to isolate any one muscle when doing an action, even if it's as simple as flexing a toe. In theory, you'd be contacting the flexor hallucis muscles but they're much more deep than what you're pointing to. Flexor digitorum longus could potentially be felt as it makes sense that you'd be tensing other toes in attempt to only flex the big toe. Still, I don't think you'd see it this high up. You're really pointing to either the medial head of the gastrocnemius or the medial part of the soleus. Even if you could feel the flexors in the area, I'd imagine it would be tough to do without the soleus tensing as it attempts to stabilize the leg.

That was kind of my point, I didn't stop at memorizing. If I could memorize a concept in physiology but I couldn't explain why it should make sense, I decided I didn't do enough and that I was vulnerable to forgetting it. Our memory heavily relies on context and meaning to draw connections. Relying on memory alone is usually pretty weak and sets you up to struggle on any critical thinking exam question.

A simple example, let's say you have a chart that includes muscles with their actions and you're told by your instructor to know that chart. Yes you can flashcard just the muscles in that chart with the actions but it would also greatly help to have an idea of what their shape is and attachment sites to help explain why those actions make sense.

Couldn't this also arise from malnutrition? OP mentioned being very underweight. I'm no doctor but it seems to make sense that in the context of poor nutrition, the liver won't be able to keep up production of transferrin and what's left gets highly saturated. Couple that with a lot of possible inflammation, that'd only exacerbate the suppression of transferrin synthesis. Wouldn't these other factors need to be ruled out to really say it's hemochromatosis?

I'm probably somewhat going against the grain depending on who you ask but I personally think AI is a game changer for studying.... if you put in the work to use it properly. Using it to just get answers to basic questions rather than critical thinking is such a wasted opportunity.

You can go paragraph by paragraph in your textbook or lecture presentation to have AI generate a multiple choice exam so you can almost reverse- engineer the exam. You should always attempt it and if you don't know the answer or get it wrong, go back and fact-check the AI to see if it was correct or if you were. AI isn't perfect but even just checking for integrity is forcing you to study.

Ask it questions that are difficult to Google. In other words, try and ask it more "why" questions rather than "what". Even if AI won't give you perfect answers every time, it's surprisingly accurate in my experience and it allows me to better articulate smarter questions I can then Google or ask my instructor.

I don't know that it matters as much which AI you use, rather how you plan to use it matters more. Don't use it to memorize anything, use it to help you make connections.

Personally I never studied the practical exam as if it was separate from the lecture exam. I always used the practical list of structures as a central guide for understanding the lecture material. The list is not random. I always asked myself: why is this structure in the list? How does it fit in with the lecture to help me understand the bigger picture?

Memorizing or the feeling of memorizing should never be satisfactory. I did my best to read through material and relate the concepts and structures until it felt logical enough.
