Did you know?

I learned a lot of interesting stuff going through Paramedic school. Well at least I thought they were interesting:)
I remember some of the names of certain parts of the body had really wierd names and interestng details. One thing I learned was the name of the clear jelly/liquid like substance in the eye. The eyeball is fill with a substance called Vitrous Humor (VH). Funny name huh? From what I learned, VH is a clear jelly like substance that fills the eye ball and gives it its round shape. If someone's eye gets punctured (OUCH!) and they lose VH than they will be blind in that eye forever, because VH is the only liquid that the body cannot remake or replace. It is also the only liquid that doesn't spoil or ruin after death. So the medical Examiner will uses a needle and seringe to take some VH from a corpse for testing. The VH will show traces of drugs or other substances that were in the eye at the time of death. Also, do you know what the largest organ of the human body is? (no not just men)
The largest organ is our skin. Yes the skin is an organ. I had that question on a test and i got it right because I remember reading it in my text book and thought it was interesting, so I never forgot it. More later....
