Simple anatomy discussion topics?

Question

I have to write anatomy journals for a class. I'm just running out of things to talk about. I just need simple daily things that have to do with anatomy to talk about. Like, "my friend broke his femur and.. " Anatomically speaking, I'm kind of boring. I've never broken anything, and I've got no cool hospital stories to write about, haha. I'm half way done with them, and I'm just out of things to write about. And I'm bored.

So if you could give me little, interesting things to write about, I'd really appreciate it. I don't mind looking things up if you just give me a name of something, and I certainly don't want yall to write anything for me. I just need topic ideas.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Research will be necessary here. Try these-
Why does your hair hurt if you have the flu?
If you get a tooth knocked out, does putting it in milk really help to preserve it?
What are freckles?
Why does your skin "wrinkle" if you stay in water to long?
What is that "thing" that hangs down in the back of your throat-what does it do?

You can tie all these answers in to anatomy. And have fun doing it.

Answer 2

This is a fun question most medical/chiropractic students face in anatomy class.

"Other than the spine, name the three places in the body that contain a disc."

The answers are: the wrist, the TMJ, and the sternal/clavicular joint.

You can review the anatomy of these three joints, then discuss: 1) what is a disc? and 2) why do these joints 'need' a disc?

Best wishes and good luck..

Answer 3

Your first answer actually points out to the problem quite clearly but in a way she didn't mean too. I only needed read her first line and already she is insulting others, which in turn shows her own insecurity in her ideas. Rather ironic. Thing is people believe very strongly on these topics and they have such a major day to day impact that it's hard to remain dispastionate about them. Me I'm off in my own pasture when it comes to religion so it's easier for me to talk religion than most for whom it is a clear cut this is how it is kind of thing. Politics is even worse. Even without the aid of politicians politics usually comes down to a contest for resources between various segments of society. Somebody has to lose in such a contest and the impact on people's lives is fairly dramatic in a negative way most of the time as most of the time both sides lose in such contests. Socialized medicine for example would completely deny all health care to me in this country before the ink was dry on the bill. There would be one rule or another that would exclude me from using Federal subsidized health care and because of the massive tax increases necessary to fund it and the huge paperwork burden placed upon health care providers paying cash for health care would no longer be an option. As such I have a vital stake in opposing socialized medicine. When I mean vital I mean socialized medicine is literally an attempt to kill me. Hard enough to get health care now without insurance but to have to bow and scrape and modify my life would be even more difficult. Then owing child support or owing on a student loan or being convicted of a certain crime or failing to eat a prescribed diet or failing to do something or another would leave far more people without health care coverage than the current system, on top of that it would make it nearly impossible those not covered to get health care. If that's not attempted mass murder I don't know what is. See how easy it is to get emotionally entangled in politics. How much is at state. That is why it's a bad topic in a neutral environment such as a party or wedding or something like that. I could have used a dozen examples and riled up one side or both sides on issues. Once asked a question here on YA just to point out how both sides on abortion have nonsensical aspects of their stances. Managed to rile quite a few people with that one, surprised it wasn't deleted :)
