Great website to study anatomy

If you stumble upon this website before the quiz tomorrow... you're lucky! Could also work for next week's midterm.
Check out this guy's anatomy videos on youtube as well, found them on the class blog

The Pope's hat

Ever wonder where the strange shape of the Pope's hat came from? Apparently in old times it was shaped more like a cone, or a conch, just like Merlin the wizard's hat with the pointy top. I'm sure the Catholic Church won't approve of this info though; there is no way they'll admit they might have pagan roots or share any history with what has today become the property of Disney, or JK Rowling.

And why the pointy top? To form a receiving end for energy and knowledge from guiding powers. That makes sense if we consider that the seventh chakra, which connects us with our higher powers is located at the top of the head.

Now comes the wilder part: the Pope's hat, or Mitre, then transformed into a rounder shape, with two lapels falling on each side. This is the shape of a uterus: when removed from a body of an animal for example, the two Fallopian tubes drop to each side. And so, the Mitre signifies that the Pope is the son of heaven, birthed from its uterus. Hell, he is wearing the uterus on his head as evidence!
Why, you ask, has this subject come up for discussion? All because of the Mitral valve of the heart, between the left atrium and ventricle, shaped somewhat like the Pope's hat with two ends. The things you learn in Medical Terminology class. Seriously.
