The following conversation took place last Saturday morning..
mk: Cadeaver is cool!
vy: Who is that? I just woke up
mk: dead body.
So cute right? She thought its "someone" by the name of Cadeaver as if I'm saying 'Tom is cool' or 'Jerry is cool'.
So, Cadeaver is cool!

Yeah, we were given the privilege to visit the Medical Faculty of UKM.
group picture at the lobby of UKM, KL campus
The group was too huge, so we were split into 2 groups and take turn to get into the dissection hall. So, my group was led to the Anatomy Museum first.
*yawns*
It's a place full of dissected limbs, embalmed and preserved in formalin for studies purposed.
Cross-section of a REAL right foot.
In our body, supposedly the nerves and blood supplies are of same colour. In order to differentiate them for studies purposes, the nerves were painted in yellow while the arteries were painted in red. But they are REAL nerves and arteries behind these paint coatings. Take note of the skin, its reaaal! Haha!
I wonder how many souls are in this museum. LOL. Alright, jokes aside.
2 months old embryo
This embryo is still intact in the amnion sac with its nutrient and oxygen supply via the placenta.
5 1/2 months old foetus
The following foetus is a still-born baby. He was about to be given birth till his mother met in a car accident. Both could not survive.
9 months old foetus
I believe he's a chinese boy, from the observed features. Somemore got so much hair lehhh..
Most of these preserved display foetus are aborted by their mothers, for God-knows-what-reason.
Cross section of the skull (the left side)
This is literally somebody's REAL head. Here you can see the exact content and location of our brain and what not.
This is not all yet.
The coolest part is that..
...we had HANDS ON EXPERIENCE on the dead bodies!
How cool more can that be? You bet.
It's real cool when you get to weigh both the kidneys with your both palms, their lungs, their heart, their uterus and even their balls?
Each layer can be flipped open. The skin, the muscle (for identification) and you can feel for yourself the arteries, veins and nerves!
We even tried opening the eye to see if the eye balls are still in there.
Eevon, Yuan Ding and yours truly, taken at the eerie corridor
Professional looking huh?
That's all for now, have a nice day! =)

HAHA! Not scared la. He must be proud that so many of us were so interested over him, I mean his body ^^ *ngek ngek*
emm,
seen and done eh? cool right? Err.. not supposed to take picture actually. Not trying to show my disrespect or tried making fun of the cadeaver or so by taking pics but did that to appreciate him. To show that his life and body is significant for the learning beneficial of all of us. I'm sure many people who read this entry appreciate every part of our body even more? I don't know. But can bring cam and hp in la =) Maybe here's not so strict.
