S2, 3, 4...!

Anatomy can be a huge drain. Its effects on the student body here are varying, but the quotes below, I think, capture our sentiments up to now:

***A female 2nd year anatomy lab tutor:
"You know what, that's the one thing about taking antomy that makes me sad. It takes all the mystery out of sex. I mean, take the cremaster reflex. I thought it was so cool when I tried it 'for real' and saw that it works. And then you realize that it's an automatic response, and that just kills it."

note: cremaster reflex: the reflexive action of the cremaster muscle to retract the testicles if the inner thigh is slightly stroked, presumably to protect them.

***A fellow classmate, enacting a 'cheer' thought up as a memory device for the nerve roots of the pudental nerve:

"Ready.....S2, 3, 4, keeps the penis off the floor!"

Priceless.
