Entering the Corps Exhibit, we intruded on a group of students who were just starting their tour. The tour guide was giving an explanation of the human skull which was elongated enough by rod-like needles between each skull bone to deeply express all the bones of the skull. All the facial bones were still attached. The skull appeared unusually large due to the elongation, but the position of the ethmoid became more visible and recognizable than before, which was very helpful. The tour guide also stated that the skull belonged to an adult male and that there were numerous ways to identify a male from a female. The skull features of an adult male are larger, rounder and more robust than those of a female, which is lighter, smaller and smoother. The skeleton of a human was the next gallery we visited. I really liked this room because I knew most of the names of the bones on display. I felt like I was looking at that shoulder blade sitting next to that sacrum, sitting next to that jaw. Ah! The bones weren't arranged sporadically like I just said, but I was excited to be able to name the bones on the left and right. The cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae showed the main differences between each other. The body of the lumbar vertebra was clearly larger than the cervical or thoracic vertebra, and the spinous process of the lumbar was less elevated than the other two. Basically in the exhibition the functions of the vertebrae were easier. I thought this (the exhibit) would be a good learning experience for the semester because most of the bones on display were labeled. As we approached the room with the muscular system gallery, I really regretted not bringing my book to study. This room was really interesting because there was a whole man with…half of a sheet of paper…an internal organ weighing 3.5 pounds; however, the skin is the heaviest organ overall. The heart is the center of the circulatory system; pumps blood in and out. The coronary arteries circulate blood to the heart, and the cardiac veins remove deoxygenated blood from the heart. This was represented in the exhibit by the red arteries and blue veins. Every heartbeat or inch is your heart pumping blood to and from your lungs. Towards the end of the visit, a pair of lungs from a smoker and one from a non-smoker were exposed. The smoker's lungs were very black compared to the large, healthy heart. The exhibition was a great learning experience because it was easy to notice everything. Having knowledge of some parts of human anatomy and physiology under my belt helps me get in without turning a blind eye. This is one of the best ways to learn outside of lectures and open labs.
