Earned?

Well, whether they were earned or not, I've still had a couple of bars!

My groups have been brilliant today grasping the concept of how the autonomic nervous system works (that's the bit we have no control over for those who weren't aware)

Having grasped how it all works and how it relates to their main course I was then able to

share some of the stuff about our bodies that always blows me away.

Stuff like we produce 2 million red and 1 million white blood cells every second.

Stuff like we generate enough heat in an hour to boil (yes BOIL) a gallon of water.

And that we replace the lining of our stomachs every 3 to 4 days.

And we shed around 600,000 dead skin cells every hour.

Is it any wonder Anatomy fascinates me every day?

I've used a few of my muscles tonight (200 in every step to be approximate) by going for a run. It was wet, windy and horrible and I loved every windswept, rain beaten step of it.
