My anatomy class

As you guys may know, I've decided to go back to school to be certified in coding/billing, medical administrative assistant, blah blah blah. Ome of the required classes is Anatomy. Well yesturday in class we worked on directional terms, planes, regions, and quadrants. Easy. But like that wasn't enough, we also worked on the Integumentary System <skin>.

I learned all kinds of things I really didn't want to know. Like what keratin was. I've seen it on some shampoo and condidtioner bottles.

Anywho, I've been busy with homework. Monday's homework was one chapter's worth. Yesturday was two chapter's worth. Thank goodness I know a little bit about this stuff already or I will still be knee deep in homework. Now I'm only ankle deep. lol

Another think is I don't mind the drive early in the mornings BUT when bad weather is around, I hate it. People on a 4 lane interstate in one direction really scares me when it comes to ice and snow.

No, you're lucky spelling isn't required. ;)

I'm glad you're doing well. I guess this is why I haven't had anyone to play with recently. SadCrySmilie Mel's plowing snow, you're doing that fancy book learnin' and Luci's puter pooped out.

I was told that spelling was something we'll have to be somewhat good at........wonderful.

I hate spelling.

Spelling in anatomy isn't that bad, its the pronouncing I'll be having trouble with.

Hey, do you get one of those cool books with clear plastic pages and with every page another layer comes off?? Like the first page shows the skin, you turn the page and see the muscles, turn again and see the organs, turn again and see the bones?? I used to LOVE that!!!!

Oh! Oh! Pick me!! Ruthi, I just had a cool idea. Pick something very common from the medical dictionary, like cramps or something, then post the medical name of it in the games section and let us try to guess what it is!!! That would be fun!!

I'd like to hear you say that three times fast. Or just one time would be good enough.

That's a good game idea Mike. smileythink I may look in on that.

hmmm The "ectomy" leads me to believe this has something to do with organ removal? Is it the long name for a hysterectomy? SmileyYech!

hysterosalpingo-oophorectomy


hyster/o: uterus
salping/o: tube..<I had to look this one up>
oophor/o:ovary...<I had to look this one up too>
ectomy: surgical removal

so...it means to surgically remove the uterus, tubes, and ovaries.
