One thing I never liked knowing from medical photos and videos is how much empty air space is in your intestines. When you think about it you would be a hell of a lot heavier if they were entirely full of fluid, that’d be like lugging several gallon jugs around all day, but still, it feels wrong that they’re mostly empty space. There’s only like a little river of liquid in there. A little guy could be on a gondola in there.
this is false. the only reason every image of the inside of your intestine looks like that is because they literally pump air in specifically so that they can see around. same goes for laproscopic surgeries. youd just get a screen full of red if you just a camera tube in there.
the sinuses on the otherhand, those just look like that
Oh right! It isn’t normally to that degree at all, no.
But there are *pockets* of space in there often enough that if you swallow certain insect larvae that can survive the stomach, they can actually metamorphose into adults in intestinal air pockets, reproduce with each other and make another generation! We know this almost entirely thanks to the maggots that make casu martzu cheese.
companies underestimate how much locking their content behind needing an account will just make me go do something else. oh your website wants me to make an account to view this content? oh your website doesn’t show media to logged-out users? okay. i didn’t actually want to see it that bad. yeah. bye ✌️
