Bodies

I just went to see the Bodies exhibit downtown and i thought it was fascinating and interesting. i bought the audio tour as well and listened to the adult and children's commentary (i always want to get my money's worth). there are several whole bodies and lots of parts all dissected in someway to show muscles, tendons, internal organs, veins etc. i especially liked the circulatory system. they have a special procedure where they fill the veins with a colored polymer then chemically dissolve the rest of the body around it so all you see is where the blood was. it was fascinating and very pretty. the other sliced up stuff was interesting but not always pretty. but it is intriguing to see how we're all put together and what all it takes to get and stay alive. i suppose it's not for the more squeamish, but it's pretty cool stuff. and it's all very scientific. the parts are labeled. the placards and the audio commentary talk about the anatomy and the physiological connections. it's interesting to see how it all fits, and how it all fits together.
