ninevirtuesI'm done with the anatomy practical. (This one: Nerves in the lumbar plexus; intestines and internal organs (kidney, liver, spleen, pancreas, gallbladder); blood vessels in the internal organs and gut; muscles of the abdommen and hip (quadratus lumborum, psoas, rectus abdominis, transverse abdominis, internal and external oblique, iliacus).
Next up.... tomorrow: Anatomy written test, PT Science test.
I met a squirrel today. I took five minutes away from studying and went to watch a squirrel. He climbed up a vertical trunk (how do they _do_ that?) and sat watching me, checking every once in a while to make sure I was still there. After five minutes in which I did not harass him, he decided I was harmless, and climbed face-first down the vertical trunk.
How do they _do_ that?? I can explain the climbing UP by noting that his claws probably point towards the ground when he's headed up. And his hindguarters are folded in a way that makes climbing UP seem plausible. But climbing down, I just don't get.
After a moment, he grabbed a seed and proceeded to eat it, hanging on solely with his hind legs, and in a gravity-affected position. I don't get how he does that, either. Hmm. I guess he lives in a largely vertical world, and he's built for that.
