It’s a shame that we can only really know if someone had the most perfect stomach or liver once they’re dead. Thinking about bodybuilding again. We can control, to an extent, how much muscle we put on and where. We can also control, to an extent, how much fat we put on (but not where). But if someone ate the most amazing-est diet with optimal hydration and kept their large intestine absolutely pristine, we can’t really pull it out and admire it :( Or if someone fell and broke their shin bone and then got bone spurs growing out of the healed area, if those spurs had a cool structure, we can’t really know without operating (or taking a ton of expensive imaging).

Been enjoying the YouTube channel Institute of Human Anatomy a ton lately. Makes me want to look at all kinds of cadavers.
