Random Fact #38

Study sessions, with they guys, aren't as productive without Michelle's delicious homemade cookies.  Hopefully I'll still pass biochem.

Random Fact #37

University of Western States needs a campus bar.

With the completion of the new anatomy building, I think they should turn the old anatomy building into a bar and  name it, "The Morgue."  The joke will be to walk in and say, "it's sure dead in here."

Random Fact #36

To view the muscles around the eyeball, you take a hammer and crack the frontal bone above the orbit.  You then can peel the bone away like you would a hard boiled egg.

Random Fact #35

Your lower teeth are innervated by one nerve.  Your upper teeth are innervated by a few different nerves.  So if you go to the dentist and have to get work done on your lower teeth you only need one needle for freezing.  Your upper teeth need multiple needles to freeze all the nerves.

Random Fact #34

If you could take all the capillaries in your circulatory system and link them together it would stretch for 50,000 miles.  That would go around the earth twice.

Random Fact #33

There are 6 muscles in the orbit that control eye movement.

Random Fact #32

A hammer and chisel are appropriate tools in the anatomy lab when breaking though the spinal vertebra to expose the spinal cord.  Apparently being the son of a carpenter paid off as I was complemented on my chiseling capabilities.

Random Fact #31

Your tear duct (lacrimal duct) is located in the upper outside part of your eye socket. Tears are produced and move across the eye via blinking to the bottom inside part of the eye socket.
