I finally had my long awaited Lab today. Rat preparation. Sadly it was only 3.5 hours, which I feel is not sufficient time to truly use the oppurtunity given with these animals, that in the end gave up their life for my learning. It was very interesting and from my group I did most of the work. The other girls were not to keen on cutting through skin, bones and organs. The rest of the day was packed full with classes from 8 in the morning until 6 at night. In the last two weeks I have also continued to go to the extra Anatomy lecture (last time the Prof brought in real bones for us to examine). We have also started Physics lectures, tomorrow Chemistry lectures start and on the 28th is our first exam in Biology which means I spent Sunday (from 9:45AM until 8PM) in the library studying. It was glorious though because I had a good night sleep the night before so that I wasn't falling asleep while studying!
Interesting Fact of the Day:
The body's skin has certain regions called "Dermatom" which can be an indicator of organ sickness. The reason deals with embryology but for instance, if the inner side of the left upper arm hurts, it can be an indication of a heart attack. The nerve that supplies the heart has its root in the same place as that region of the arm.
Interessante Fakte des Tages:
Die Haut hat Bereiche die als Dermatom bezeichnet werden. Diese können hinweise auf entzündete oder kranke Organe geben. Zum Beispiel, wenn die innen Seite vom linken Oberarm weh tut, könnte es auf ein Herzinfarkt deuten. Der Grund für dieses Phänomen liegt in der Embryologie. Der Nerv der das Herz versorgt hat seine Wurzel im selben Bereich wie die vom Arm.
