Day 3: Gross Anatomy

Today was the first day in Gross Anatomy and the first time I actually cut into a human body. I can't express the emotions. It's weird to cut into the flesh of another human, even if he or she is already dead. Cultural prohibitions, you know??

Out of it all, here's the tidbit of info I learned:

Humans have red, striated muscle like the beef you buy at the grocery store.

However, we have yellow fat like chickens (beef and pork have white fat).
