There was an exhibition held last year to show the public what the human body looks like on the inside, using real bodies that had been embalmed. I've always been interested in the human body, but not as a career choice.  It was mentioned at the time that the exhibition would come to Melbourne in May 2006, and I'd love to check it out, but can't seem to find any info about it.  Does anyone have any ideas?

They have done it with hands, but there are psychological factors that make it difficult for most people.  Patients have a hard time accepting that they have a dead person's body parts on them. Internal organs are a little different.  Looking at a different leg or hand all the time is difficult for the minds of most.  Also, the timing has to be perfect.  You cant just do that with someone who lost their leg 2 months ago.

Hi ya\nYes every thing is changing in this world even when i am writing this for you. Our body is changing continously even while we are sleeping and no cells remain same. Yes most of these things can be seen by microscope but some cant be. Even the Dead cells are getting replaced by the new one and wit every second a new life is begaining and some where  its finishing. But dont worry, we usually dont care as we get used to these things and many time we dont even care. Hope this will answer you.\ntake care

I'm quite happy for other people to take part in beauty contests.  I am sure most boys would prefer to spend an evening with the winner of a beauty contest rather than with me. All this guff about beauty being on the inside is nonsense, I'm afraid. I have a truly stunning inside, kind, gentle, generous, intelligent and lovely, but the outside is crap and I know that only too well!

Er ... okay.\n\nI didn't realise they were the avatars of real staff members; I thought they were just drawings.\n\nGood luck with that. Maybe you could try the Yahoo!Answers section for your question.

I think it's kind of weird really.  That's his flesh and blood.  Maybe I could see it if she had died or something  (god forbid) but if she's still alive it seems weird.  Just carry a pic or something.  No permanent gesture is in order, IMO.

What's a toxin?  Have you ever seen one?  Can you name one that is in your body right now?  \n\nJust pointing out that the human body has an amazing way of healing itself, despite our interference.  The "toxin" talk is a lot of hype to try to sell you products or services.

I have heard of it and I am looking for it myself. I have found several libraries with copies -- mostly college libraries here and there in the US -- but they are not willing to share off campus.\n\nI have also contacted BBC. To no avail. I sure would appreciate it if you are able to lay your hands on a copy. I teach about recycling. Fungus is nature's recycler!! :-)\n\nIf you're asking about the video, I only have my memory of what it was about. It described what fungus was and its role in our world as a decomposer. That without it, the world would be littered with unrotting carcasses of our dead flora and fauna.

Your friend is just trying to freak you out. Yes, with people who are embalmed (not all people choose this), their blood is drained out of a vein from the leg or arm, and is replaced with embalming fluid (all at the same time). As for cutting off the head, that's not true. They will only open the skull to weigh the person's brain if they suspect something during an autopsy.\n\nP.S. ONLY ANCIENT EGYPTIANS REMOVED INTERNAL ORGANS AND THE BRAIN!!!!! In these days and times when they bury someone, all their internal organs are left inside the body, only small parts are taken out during an autopsy as pathology specimens for cause of death.

Someone telling you the answer is no substitute for finding out yourself.  Which year of your nurse training are you in?  It's inconceivable that no anatomy and physiology lectures are included in your training - they should be, and if they are not then you should ask why.  How can nurses possible hope to look after ill patients if you have no idea of how the human body functions?  For example where would you find the 'Islets of Langerhan' and what is their function.  What is the 'Bundle of His' and why do people with cirrhosis of the liver bleed from their stomach?  No I'm not a doctor - this was part of my nurse training.  Anyway my suggestion to you is to buy yourself a basic anatomy and physiology book from Blackwells, you'll find it fascinating reading.  Good luck with your training.

I did one in Year 6 in Australia.  The test was done by a psychologist, and there wasn't anything I could study for.  I remember there being some card with pictures on them that I had to put in order and tell a coherent story about.  There was some word association, and some inkblots.  Mostly, though, we talked, and he tried to get answers out of me.  Lots of looking at pictures, and him saying 'what do you see there?  what do you tihnk they're doing?'

I saw it years ago. It was quite good. Wouldn't a good place to look for that kind of stuff on ebay? That way you literally have the whole world in your fingertips. #i only know of places in UK to get this sort of stuff. There are places in London that sell signed posters and stuff. Any good?
