You know something we don’t get taught often? Why bodies with uteri often have a slight pouche. You wanna know why? Because the uterus leans against the outside wall of the abdominal cavity. The uterus is literally making that little pouche, the belly that we call fat all the fucking time, and that’s why it’s so fucking hard to get a absolutely flat belly! And thank fuck for having a female anatomy professor who is old enough and feminist enough to not give a damn and cheerfully tell us all the details that a male professor might have thought unimportant. Cause fuck this society that ignores organs in order to fat-shame us.
I had no idea. Like, absolutely no idea.
i did not know this at all
I’d really like a source from that professor, because speaking as an anatomy professor myself? This sounds wrong. The uterus is actually a decent ways back; it’s deep to the bladder and all the intestines, and it’s not very big. Like, if there’s not baby in it, it’s about the size of your fist, or slightly smaller. And the uterus is pretty darn well anchored in place by ligaments, so it’s not going to distend your belly. The uterus is mostly taking up space that would by occupied by the bladder if the uterus wasn’t there.
That said, the little bit of belly paunch? Is absolutely just organs. Unless you have abs of polished diamond, you can have like two percent body fat and still have a bit of a paunch because that is definitely where all your intestines hang out, taking up space in your body and all.
The pelvis also tends to be tilted differently to facilitate childbearing, and it can create a stronger lordotic curve in the lower back, which in turn shoves all the abdominal organs forward to the same effect.
You are absolutely right! I don’t know whether I misremembered, or she taught something wrong (Honestly willing to bet on me, she was an awesome teacher, and made the class really fucking interesting. Wish we’d been able to visit the cadaver museum as planned, shit would have been hilarious) but she definitely talked about the belly paunch being organs, and how it takes a fuckton of work, like ultra serious work to get your stomach muscles to the point where you lose that paunch, and I remembering being fucking floored. Sorry for the mixup, that’s on me! (Been a few years, oops. *grimaces*)
The first is that the Death Star trash compactor had been used so rarely or that the station had been serviced so little that an ecosystem had begun to develop inside the trash compactor and who knows where else in the Death Star and a large tentacle beast had grown in this would be womb deep inside the most destructive weapon in the galaxy
The second is they just threw a tentacle monster in the trash
