anatomy of the heart ♡
anatomy of the heart ♡
while this blog mostly contains my ramblings about my life, this post is not in any way connected with my l♡ve life. haha! kala nyo ha. i'd be very literal with my blog title.
my last lecture for this year is actually the Cardiovascular System, it's about the heart, blood and its circulation and the lymphatic system. in my years of teaching, i rarely handle an Organ System Anatomy subject becoz it's usually delivered by our team of medical lecturers. i found Anatomy easier to teach than my usual subject expertise (assessment skills and clinical decision making) kasi hindi naman nagbabago ang location ng puso or ng location & function ng lungs ng tao. that's actually the best thing about Anatomy, kung ano yung asa libro, 'yun na 'yun mismo... all you have to do is memorize the location and function. unlike in a clinical skills subject, bukod sa kailangan kabisado mo ang Anatomy, you also have to pay attention on how the skills are executed.
even the laboratory sessions are way too easy. the students only have to remember the basic parts.

the heart in my hand
cross-sectional view of the plastic heart model
you see, the heart models that we are using now are made of plastic. they are now durable and the parts of very distinctive & color-coded already. as compared during my college years when we studied real actual heart of human cadavers. yung ibang heart organs then were already damaged due to the person's illness which made it harder for us to identify the specific parts of the heart. isusubsob mo talaga yung mukha mo sa heart model just to recognize its parts.
on a different light, giving this lecture about the Cardiovascular System also helped me with my review, most especially when i'm reading about Cardiac Physio and ECG. it's very important that i go back to my basics with the heart in order to fully grasp how all these electrocardio-thingy works. thank God for this topic assignment!
and well, there's also a strange coincidence!
the heart has always been one of my waterloo.
