🩸 = random diagnosis Fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva. It is an extremely rare connective tissue disorder in which your muscles, tendons, ligaments etc turn into bone. It's the only known disease where one organ system changes to another! How interesting is that? Photos of the "skeletons" of those who have passed from this are shocking to say the least. We aren't sure what causes it.
💌 = something we are happy about Next semester, we will take anatomy and physiology. We are already very happy about this but apparently, we have a friend who also took it and they got to dissect a lambs brain and a piglet. One of our main regrets across our high school career was not getting to dissect anything (we are, unsurprisingly, very interested in how bodies function), but now we know we will! Very much looking forward to it.
