Busy busy busy...
Tuesday morning we went over DNA replication, chromosomes, and enzymes/catalysts in our biochem class. In the afternoon, we had a medical humanities class where we discussed social conventions surrounding disease, what actually defines a disease, and how society labels many things as diseases that may not actually qualify to be termed as such. We then had a group discussion about doctor/patient relationships and ethical dilemmas. After this session we had histology lab, where we examined many slides of connective tissue.
Yesterday we had the morning off because the students at the Temple campus had a clinical skills presentation to attend. In the afternoon we studied epithelial tissue in histology, and then had gross anatomy lab after that. The lab was amazing as usual. We started off by taking our quiz... Abby and I were sent in alone to our tank and were given three colored pins which we had to use to pin 3 selected structures in the body. We aced it, and secured the group's grade, for now. The actual dissection was long and tedious, but the beginning was awesome because I got to detach and remove the lungs from our cadaver. The rest of the lab involved separating and identifying all the arteries and nerves inside the main chest cavity. It was a very long lab and we didn't even finish yet; we will have to go back to lab some night next week in order to finish things up.
This morning we went over enzyme regulation in biochem and learned about the skin in histology. Not a terribly exciting morning, but we have the entire afternoon off!! Therefore it will be spent trying to catch up on all these lectures and studying my ass off for a quiz tomorrow. We may be going out to northgate later tonight, but we shall see what happens...
