Felt a bit nauseated today - but it was probably due to me ingesting laxsol because I decided that two days was long enough without passing a bowel motion. And while it was fairly successful as it always is at evacuating my colon, I'm pretty sure I emptied the entirety of my colon. So when I got to the dissection room, I felt rather faint and didn't really feel like dissection. But our cadaver provided such an interesting experience that I perked up immensely.
Lungs are amazing structures. And the lungs of someone with emphysema feel quite different to the lungs of a healthy individual. Also, we felt masses in the lungs of our cadaver, and when we got to divide the lungs, we saw a mass that had a different consistency and colour to the rest of the tissue.
Tomorrow we get to open up the mediastinum and expose the heart. Excitement!
