oh do you know where to get one of those huge periodic tables lol i think i need one!!

 

[theone123]

its a bludge, easy scab for marks

 

[~Perfection]

i had a bio prac.. it was sooo boring
and thank god for that chem bridging course! he went so fast in the lecture
oh and peepee... a DNA model is easy, you'll be fine

 

[christ_ine]

DNA models with pipecleaners

 

[peepee]

easy???? how the hell would you go about starting one agh!! lol

 

[peepee]

oh my goodness, i had my first Intro to Anatomy & Histology lecture today

WE GET TO CUT UP DEAD PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Poider]

I got Intro to Bio for Health Science OMG! My tut loks like harry potter!! The course is also a pain in the backside

 

[peepee]

quote Dr Robert Kidd (Anatomy coordinator):

"It is worth pausing for thought: :
* Anatomy involves the dissection of human bodies. This is a potentially repulsive act - and would be illegal if still alive - so how do we deal with it?
* "Clinical Detachment" - We "switch off" to what it really is.
How are cadavers prepared for dissection?
* Delivered to lab by undertaker
* Undressed & shaved
* Embalmed: 'Embaliming fluid' force fed into convenient artery for several days
* Stored for - 12 months
* Used for teaching purposes for three years
* Burial/Extension - 2 years"

apparantly they keep all the body pieces of the person so when they end up burying the person that we've been studying, it's all there....just not in the right order

like WTF??

 

[hipsta_jess]

lol, i wanna transfer to occupational therapy next year, so ill have to deal with cadavers then...i dont think ill handle it..

 

[~Perfection]

how heavy are the textbooks?!
my arms are going to break carrying the Biology book :mad1:

 

[peepee]

are you using biology by knox?
over 1200 pages of useless crap.
i can't find anything that will help me with my tute questions for tomorrow dgobndgndsjgnjd osomotic pressure my ass.

 

[~Perfection]

umm.. im using one by Campbell Reece

 

[christ_ine]

Biology by Campbell is the devil to carry around, I used it while I was studying Science at UNSW.

I still have it actually... collecting dust on my bookshelf.

 

[theone123]

hahaha gimme for FREE!

 

[christ_ine]

Pfft That thing cost me $92.

 

[peepee]

biology by knox is even bigger than campbell

anyway, i saw dead parts today

i went in the cool-room voluntarily, and there was this leg that looked like those marinated beef bones you get at the pet store for your dog

and parts of skull

and a lotta bins with numbers of them (indicating the identity of the person inside)
