Chapter 16: Impossible, absolutely impossible!_1

Qin Xuehai walked in with a smile.

Chen Gong's previous remarks pleasantly surprised Qin Xuehai, who hadn't expected to find real talent in this class.

While determining gender from skeletal features is not difficult,

it is still very challenging for students to achieve this!

Moreover, from the analysis of the conversation just now, it indeed appeared to be sufficiently impressive.

Tao Shengnan, seeing Qin Xuehai enter, blushed and hurried back to her seat.

"Stand up!"

"Hello, teacher!"

Qin Xuehai clapped his hands and smiled: "Hello, everyone!"

"Today is the first anatomy class, and it's also the first course that truly brings you close to clinical practice."

"Originally, this class was supposed to be held in a lecture room, but after some consideration, I decided to bring you all here to the practical training room instead."

"Because it's only after you've seen the human body structure firsthand that you can deepen your understanding of anatomy!"

"Just like the classmate who spoke earlier, what was said made a lot of sense."

"The skeletal characteristics of men and women are actually different, whether it's the bone quality or the shape of the pelvis, the pelvic inlet and outlet, and the pubic arch—they all vary."

This praise made everyone turn to look at Chen Gong with surprise.

The semester has just begun?

We are all peers, so why do you know so much?

Some were amazed, others curious, and there were those who were indifferent, and even some who felt envious.

Regardless, Chen Gong earned yet another batch of points.

Not many, but better than none.

His thoughts at the moment, however, were not on these matters, but instead, he continued to stare at the skeleton intently, his expression serious.

Qin Xuehai clapped his hands and continued:

"First of all, I want you all to recognize one thing, human anatomy is a discipline that studies the normal shape and function of the human body and is one of the most important basic medical sciences!"

"Educational institutions at home and abroad all attach great importance to it; in fact, in recent years, international sectors have even begun to include anatomy-related knowledge in competition content."

"I hope you can take this discipline seriously!"

"Also, as you can see, the room is filled with various bones, tissues, models, and even skeletons and cadavers."

"I hope you can respect them, respect life, respect medicine, and respect these special teachers who have made outstanding contributions to medicine!"

...

Qin Xuehai continued, "I myself am the chief surgeon of the affiliated hospital and also the head of our anatomy teaching and research group."

"What I want to say is, do not underestimate this discipline."

"Because anatomy is not simply a subject for rote memorization, it's a field that requires exploration and carries depth in scientific research."

"Take, for instance, a surgical operation, a liver repair surgery; here, we would encounter many challenges, such as how we should operate to better repair the liver, the relationship between these tissues and blood vessels, the significance of each blood vessel, how and for how long we should block a vessel to achieve the best outcome, and what angles to choose during surgery…"

"And so on and so forth!"

"All these issues require the knowledge of anatomy provided by basic medical science."

"Thus, an excellent anatomy expert has a great chance of becoming a top-tier surgeon."

"You are all clinical students, and I believe many of you aspire to be surgeons."

"And anatomy is the foundation of surgery."

"Alright, let's begin the formal class now."

...

...

Qin Xuehai directly said, "There's really not much to say about the first chapter, the introduction."

"If we were to follow the textbook, we'd need to talk a lot about the introduction, including the history of anatomy development, some professional terminology, but… I don't think it's necessary."

"You all understand those grand principles, and I believe you've come to the first anatomy class filled with immense enthusiasm."

"If I don't talk about some genuine and valuable aspects of anatomy, it would indeed dampen that enthusiasm."

"So, let's skip the introduction and start with the Skeletal System."

Qin Xuehai has never been a dogmatist; in fact, you could say that long periods of clinical practice have completely driven away such rigid thinking.

He deeply understood a truth, if dissection was considered dull and boring by everyone, then they would definitely lose interest and passion for such a discipline.

Therefore, in the first class, he had to arouse everyone's enthusiasm.

"Today we're going to talk about the musculoskeletal system."

"The musculoskeletal system, actually comprises two things, one is bones, one is muscles."

"Muscles drive the movement of the skeleton, and thus we have the musculoskeletal system."

"These also form the basis of the human body shape."

As he spoke, he walked directly to the back row of the lab: "Alright, everyone look here."

"Gather around a bit."

Qin Xuehai said with a hint of mischief.

Everyone instantly looked towards the large table with expectant faces.

When everyone had gathered around, Qin Xuehai directly lifted the cloth on top, and suddenly...

All of them stepped back in shock!

"Ah!"

"Damn!"

"Crap..."

The crowd let out a chorus of exclamations.

Because what was laid out on the table was a corpse, but this corpse no longer had skin, and its entire body was muscle tissue...

Due to being immersed in formalin for a long time, it emitted a special odor, somewhat pungent, and the overall color turned brown, the muscle fibers were stiff, resembling a biochemistry monster!

Qin Xuehai was very satisfied with everyone's reaction and said with a smile, "An adult body has 639 muscles, and muscles are mainly composed of muscle fibers, with the muscles of the human body consisting of about six billion muscle fibers."

"The contractions formed by these muscles can exert a force of 25 tons!"

"And an adult has 206 bones, which make up this Skeletal System."

"I have a question, is this corpse male or female?"

Qin Xuehai looked at everyone with a smile.

Tao Shengnan said with a smiling face, "Teacher, this is definitely a male, right?"

While speaking, her gaze noticed the lower part of the corpse, causing the surrounding crowd to burst into laughter.

And from somewhere, a girl's voice suddenly came out, "Wow, it's that big?"

As soon as this was uttered, a group of men all blushed, unable to look directly.

"However... why is it hollow?"

Tao Shengnan couldn't help but murmur.

"This is only the muscular system, okay? It's definitely hollow... other tissues have already been removed."

Another person said.

"Is that so? But isn't it too big?" Shou Weixiang hesitated for a moment, looking at that thing in the pubic area of the body that resembled a wine bottle...

Tao Shengnan looked at Shou Weixiang with a hint of mockery and narrowed her eyes into a smile, "It's normal for some people to be exceptionally gifted, right?"

"You don't have to feel inferior!"

As soon as this was said, the surrounding crowd burst into laughter again.

Shou Weixiang felt even more annoyed and anxious.

He felt as if his dignity as a man was being violated...

At this moment, suddenly a voice sounded:

"No, this is an adult female's skeletal and muscular specimen."

As soon as this was said, everyone immediately turned to look at Chen Gong.

Seeing Chen Gong, Qin Xuehai once again said with interest:

"Oh? Then tell us about it."

Chen Gong: "This is a female corpse."

Before he could finish, Tao Shengnan, unconvinced, pointing at the lower part of the corpse, said, "Then you tell me, which woman has this?!"

"And... that... that's so... so big!"
