Okay, but which one is easier for diagrams?

I'd say use the left for diagrams, and the right for reference as to how things look on the inside.

This is the best answer. There's a reason that subway maps are often not an accurate representation of where stops actually are on a map, but instead are condensed and made easier to read in a way that loosely shows where the stops are and also makes each stop easy to read along with other key info that's relevant. When you're on a train, you don't need accurate maps of where stop are, you just need to know where your stop is, how many stops away, or connecting trains.

Not that female anatomy is akin to a train system... Or is it?

Next stop: Pregnancy. Exit here for sleepness nights, a new member of the family and kind of a lot of responsibility. Mind the gap between exit and birth!

Next you're going to tell us that the Internet is a series of tubes!

The Roman urologist, Testicles.

How dare you trick me into reading that completely differently

Testicles are just descended egg sacks

That's what I have said then everyone in that thread yelled at me. (exaggeration)

Don't you mean eggsageration?

Most illustrations of ovaries don't even include that lower connection to the uterus. I was wondering how the body doesn't enter menopause in situations where the fallopian tubes are removed but the ovaries are left in. Now I know.

Most diagrams don't include the mesentery, so people just think their intestines are sitting there like a pile of rope inside their torso.

Are there any other undocumented features of my abdominal cavity that I should be aware of

[-] Gormadt 24 points 2 weeks ago

Sometimes you can have hernias that you don't notice (and don't pose an immidiate health risk) until they get irritated or damaged. This can happen when a hernia is small(ish) and only contains fat from inside your abdomin.

These hernias can exist from when you were born as well. So you may never have had the tissue there to hold everything inside inside.

You can get these hernias fixed (and you should) but in a lot of cases (unless they get trapped intestine in them) they are considered "elective surgeries". What this means is that unless they are actively hindering your life then your health insurance is likely to be a bastard about paying for it.

I unfortunately learned all of this from finding a small hernia because it got really painful after I got pneumonia a few years ago. We found 4 hernias but only 1 was causing pain so my insurance only covered the surgery for 1. So I've got 3 more that are just ticking time bombs.

please report any undocumented features so that they may be deported out of your cavities

[-] azi@mander.xyz 3 points 2 weeks ago

There's the peritoneum which lines the abdominal cavity.

It's got a bunch of blood vessels to exchange chemicals so it's common to do kidney dialysis right into the abdominal cavity instead of the blood directly. Unlike hemodialysis, the machines can be taken home and operated by the patient.

And in vaginoplasties when they don't have enough tissue to do just a penile inversion, they can now pull through the peritoneum to help construct the vaginal canal instead of doing a colon graft.

That's crazy, I didn't know that was a thing

[-] Mycatiskai@lemmy.ca 14 points 2 weeks ago

These were probably originally drawn from organs pulled out of cadavers and sketched or drawn while laid out on a table.

When we think of organs we think of them all separate like we see in books instead of the truth that they are all jammed together with no open space to see.

It's basically a reverse penis.

[-] Sibbo@sopuli.xyz 6 points 2 weeks ago

Do you also see the face on the left one?

[-] Aggravationstation@feddit.uk 7 points 2 weeks ago

I'll shove my face into either of them frankly

I see a superhero mask with a dick nose
