5 Craziest Things I've Found In Dead Bodies

It is not abnormal because it is small and disabled. This is abnormal for another reason. This fissure, or fissure, separates the lobes here and those of you who may have taken an anatomy class will have already figured out what is abnormal about this right lung. Welcome everyone to the lab! Today we show you five crazy

things

that we

found

in corpses, or in other words,

things

that we

found

that we did not expect to find during anatomical dissections. You see, when we receive a donated body, we don't get all the details about its health history, such as previous surgeries, previous traumas, or chronic conditions.

Mostly we just get the age, sex, and cause of death. Therefore, it means any anatomical abnormality not related to his death that we would not know about unless we examined the body by anatomical dissection. So let's look at the five things we found on

dead

bodies

. From abnormal lungs and ovaries to what cancer can do to surrounding tissues. In other words, let's get ready for this abnormal anatomical wonder! So before we begin, I want to thank everyone who donates their

bodies

to science. We could not educate students in the same way without these wonderful anatomical gifts.

Sometimes they give us more than we expected by showing us some interesting anatomical anomalies. Let's start with the first one and count down to number five with the 'Abnormal Lung'. Look at this lung here, this is the right lung, this is the back of the lung, the lateral aspect or the side of the lung. Here is the front surface of the lung. So if I hold it against me, it's going to be essentially like this, with the back and the front here. Now, it's not abnormal because it's small and deflated, it's abnormal for another reason. This fissure here or this fissure separates the lobes here and for those of you who may have taken an anatomy class, you have already figured out what is abnormal in this right lung.

But if you don't have it, let's move on to the other body to show you a normal right lung. So, here's our thoracic cavity or our thoracic cavity dissection. Here you can see the heart and its pericardial sac in all its glory. But let's look at the lungs. Everyone always loves to poke lungs because they're nice and bubbly and stretchy and feel like air. Obviously they deflate, but in this right lung you can see the sections or these cracks or fissures again. There's a lobe here, a second lobe, and if I move it away, you can see a third lobe where my index finger moves.

On the left side you have a left lung with one lobe. If I remove it down there, you can see the second lobe. Hopefully seeing the normal right lung has given you an idea of ​​the differences with this one. This right lung is missing a lobe. It has only one and two lobes. Typically, the right lungs have three lobes and the left lungs have two lobes. But this was an anatomical variant. Now, this person did not have a lobectomy. We did not see any surgical incisions when we performed the examination, and these lungs occupied the entire right side of the chest cavity.

So it's pretty crazy to think that you can sometimes get a variation in the number of lobes from person to person. What some of you may be wondering now is if a lobe is missing, which can affect lung capacity, and again, if that's how the person arrived and the lobe wasn't surgically removed, the answer is not so much. The most important part is the inner tube. Looking again at this abnormal lung, you see here again some of these tubes that I exposed by removing some of the lung tissue from this lobe. But the tube that descends and branches into the lung tissue begins as bronchopulmonary nodules or small nodular tubes.

As you develop inside mom, and the tubes continue to grow and develop, and as they grow and develop, the lung tissue begins to envelop these tubes, and certain fusions occur between the lung tissue and the different tubes, forming the lung in different lobes. Now, as long as the person has all the bronchopulmonary segments or these tubes within the lobes, he will have sufficient capacity. They found variations in different cadaver labs; They saw right lungs with two lobes and even four lobes. In some cases they found left lungs with up to three lobes, so the variations should be again, as long as they have the right bronchopulmonary segments or the right tubes are in the variations in the lobes, but it should be fine.

But again, most of us have three on the right and two on the left. Number four, the structure we refer to as the "Stuck Achilles." Let's first look at a normal Achilles tendon and then an abnormal one. As you can see, we are looking at the back of the leg or the back of the calf. We often call it the calf muscle, but technically it is called the gastrocnemius muscle. Then you will be able to see this amazing tendon called the Achilles tendon. Technically the calcaneal tendon. But it is the largest and strongest tendon in the human body, and if we get closer, we can see that the collagen fibers go in the same direction.

Because this tendon is made up of dense and ordinary connective tissue. It is very important to help them be strong in this direction. Again regularly because the collagen fibers line up in these rows and when the muscle contracts the tendon pulls the heel up. Now look how shiny this tendon is at the musculotendinous junction. Here you will not see it in the abnormal Achilles that we are going to show you. We're going to look up and see an abnormally large difference in a second. So the abnormal Achilles tendon is from the same body, just from the other leg, and you can see that it looks relatively normal from here to here.

Even when we get to the musculotendinous junction, you can see the nice distinction between the tendon and the belly of the muscle. But if I turn it towards you a little bit, if you look closely, it's nice and shiny and then it starts to change a little bit and the fabric looks a little more frayed. I always tell people "sticky" and the muscle belly on the medial aspect of that calf muscle contracts more upward than normal. It is all scar tissue from a partial rupture of the Achilles tendon. One of the things that was also interesting about this was that when I was dissecting this tissue, I had to reference this tissue here.

This white tissue is called fascia. Now keep in mind that here the Fascia would continue like a sleeve over the muscle and tendons and I can usually slide the Fascia up and down with relative ease and smoothness. I can detach it from the muscle or tendon. But in the case of where the Achilles tendon ruptured, it was completely scar tissue. I want you to think about the fascia that surrounds the muscles, but the muscles still have to slide under the fascia. In the event that this guy ruptured here, the fascia and tendon or scar tissue from that partial rupture came together.

Now think about what would happen every time the man stood on his tiptoes. He would try to slide and slide, he would stick to the fascia. Then we'll talk about it. This person probably had tension and distress at his place of residence and probably even a limited range of motion. Most people, if they rupture their Achilles tendon, tend to rupture it lower down, which is usually a complicated surgical procedure because you can suture tendon after tendon. If it breaks near the musculature, it may be a slightly more complicated surgical procedure. But in this person's case he probably didn't have surgery because he again had a partial hernia.

But he healed with all the excess scar tissue. Number three, the "Mutant Ovary." To see this abnormal ovary, we cut a body in the sagittal plane or, in other words, divide it into the right and left sides. One side has the normal ovary and the other has the abnormal one. Let's look at the normal ovary first. Here you can see the sagittal section again. Here is the frame of reference, for the spine or the lower part of the spine here is the pubic bone and we are looking inside the pelvic cavity. Here is the Uterus and nearby we can see the structure we call the ovary.

I left it so you can see the proportion in its size. Here, about the size of an almond, so it's not a huge structure, and we know that ovaries produce eggs, or in other words, they're called eggs. It also releases estrogen and progesterone. But what about the abnormal ovary? So let's look at the other side. Again the sagittal section. You can see the spine, the pubic bone as a frame of reference and again the uterus. But my God! Look at the size of this ovary, it's like quadruple size compared to the normal ovary here, and it could possibly be some of the PCOS that gives us theories about PCOS.

Where the ovary develops and enlarges all these cysts. This body also died of breast cancer. There is now conflicting data or conflicting literature that says PCOS may be a risk factor for breast cancer, and other studies don't say as much. But it's something to think about. Now it's crazy to think about the size difference. Here again, on the potential pain it can cause. Once again, women, you are troops, we love you and you are incredible. I mean, guys, can you imagine what would happen if one of our testicles doubled in size? We would probably just die of emotional distress.

Number two, the "Confused Heart." Now, why would we refer to a heart as confused? Well, it's probably because the heart has 'forgotten' how to beat properly. Or in other words there was a problem with the conduction or electrical system of the heart. Every time we open corpses where they have a pacemaker, and in this particular heart you can see the cable. The lead is often referred to as the pacemaker system lead and if I get closer I can see the lead entering the right ventricular chamber. It attaches to the wall of the heart or, in other words, the heart muscle.

So if you receive an electrical impulse from the pacemaker, which is usually implanted in the chest, you can better control the rate and rhythm of those who have problems with the heart's conduction system. Now one more thing I want to mention about the pacemaker system is that the heart of the pacemaker, pun intended, is again the generator that has the battery and creates the stimulus that passes through the wire and therefore makes the heart contract. Now it would make a lot of sense to put that generator in a more shallow position. Saying that the battery ever died or that we had to replace the generator is a much less intensive or complicated procedure than having to replace the wire connected to the heart.

We definitely want to do it right and make it relatively permanent. But if we ever had to replace the pacemaker generator, it would be a much less intensive surgical procedure. Number one, "Cancer and the greater omentum." Now, what is a greater omentum? Well, curious, you have to ask, because we will see this in the abdominal cavity. Many times when we think of the abdominal cavity, we think of the intestines or the small intestine that you can see here in my hand. But you can see this apron-shaped structure hanging over the small intestine, and it's called the greater omentum.

Now he is no longer attached inferiorly. In reality, it is only attached to the stomach and transverse colon. So you can actually mirror it and then bring it down again. When we first opened the carcass, the first thought was, "Wow, this thing is so thin compared to other Greater Omentum I've seen in the past, and it's also offset to the left." Now let's show you a normal look to really appreciate it. Here you can see the abdominal cavity of another corpse. Just for reference, this is your abdominal muscle under this white scarf. Then you mirror the muscle and the first thing you see is the greater omentum.

You can see that this piece is thicker and covers most of the small intestine better. The good thing about the Greater Omentum is that, because of the yellow tissue, you can tell that it is a place where energy can be stored. Because it is made up of adipose tissue. It also has lymph nodes to provide some immune function. One great thing is that it will migrate. Remember that it is not anchored down here, so there is some freedom of movement for this structure, but it can migrate to areas of infection or even areas of trauma. So let's give an example, let's say this structure here called Appendix has exploded.

They have seen cases where Omentum migrates a little bit and moves there and can encapsulate the infection in hopes of preventing it from spreading to other areas of the abdominal cavity. So let's get back to this abnormality or the thinning "Weak Greater Omentum". This body died of colorectal cancer with metastases to the liver. In fact, you can see some of the nodules or areas where the liver is unhealthy. Ultimately, this is what caused this person to unfortunately die. But in terms of the greater omentum with the cancerous nodules in the colon and rectum here, the idea is that it may be moving the omentum to that side.

Often when people receive chemotherapy and medicationsof that nature, they can cause a lot of weight loss and may have your fat removed as well. There is a theory that even cancer cells may have used it as an energy source. Thank you for joining us on this tour of five crazy things we have found inside the human body. Go ahead and deliver.
