The first Anatomy class of the semester was VERY interesting. Interesting comes with a whole lot of new terms in an unfamiliar language often mispronounced by the cheena professor. Nevertheless, it was still awesome.
Some of the things that my K bank acquired:
Human body has 206 bones. (many are probably aware of this :P)
There are 10 different systems in the body.
We have 5 different types of bones.
There are 2 different types of bone marrow. Yellow bone marrow and Red bone marrow.
Hemopoiesis; the process of red blood cell production. In an infant, the spleen and liver produce these cells. However, in an adult the red bone marrow does the job. And it appears to be doing a great job by producing 2.5 million red blood cells every second.
The inorganic matrix of bone is made up of largely calcium and phosphorus. They contribute to two thirds of the weight of a bone.
The adult human body has 24 vertebrae. Originally, we were born with 34. As we develop, some of the bones fused to form bigger bones.
And many other information that will be posted as the semester goes by :D
