M18:NOT FOR THE FAINT HEARTED

2.2! Hmmm....maybe that it is just the starting of the week but I feel lost.
I mean the lecturers are talking in words that I do not understand. She used medical terms that most of us are not familiar with. Gravidarum, menorrhoea, lochia, gestation and bla bla bla. My NSL lecturer didn't teach us but we kinda taught ourself. As in she asked us questions and we answer them ourselves. Its good but we won't know whether what we said is right or not. I'm not frustrated tho. And we already need to do presentations.

Well NURUL, get over it...That's life you need to get through it no matter what.

Ok.....So, we get to "play" with the placenta. For those of you who doesn't know, placenta is an organ that functions as a foetomaternal (baby and mother) organ. Since it is connected to the umbilical cord, the placenta transfers blood as the umbilical cord has 2 arteries and 1 vein. It also transfers nutrition, oxygen, metabolic and endocrine activity.
My lecturer took it from NUH. How cool is that. HAHA!! The picss are bloody. For those who cannot tahan please do not look at it. So that you won't faint. HEEHEE! Enjoy people.......... =P


Looks like beef.....
