The Holidays are here, and so are delicious meals. Let's give our gut some extra love and support for processing these delicous foods for us and keeping our digestive system optimal and healthy 💛
It comprises living cells and extracellular materials, organized into tissues, organs, and systems.
It is primarily composed of water and organic compounds, lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Water, making up about 60% (varies by age) of body weight, is crucial for life's chemical processes, found in both extracellular fluids and within cells, serving as a vital solvent.
The skin and related structures form the integumentary system, safeguarding the body from harmful invaders and chemicals while also preventing water loss.
Comprising skeletal muscles and bones (about 206 in adults), the musculoskeletal system facilitates body movement and shields internal organs.
Incorporating breathing passages, lungs, and respiratory muscles, the respiratory system acquires vital oxygen from the air for cellular metabolism and expels waste carbon dioxide.
The circulatory system, comprising the heart, blood, and vessels, circulates fluid throughout the body, furnishing cells with oxygen and nutrients while removing waste like carbon dioxide and toxic compounds.
The digestive system comprises the mouth, esophagus, stomach, and intestines, breaks down food into usable nutrients, absorbing them into the bloodstream, and eliminates the remaining waste as feces.
Consisting of kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra, the excretory system filters toxins and waste from the blood for elimination.
The nervous system formed by sensory organs, brain, spinal cord, and nerves transmits sensory data, integrates it, and triggers appropriate muscular or glandular responses.
Composed of hormone-secreting glands and tissues, the endocrine system coordinates body processes via a chemical communication network.
The reproductive system, encompassing male or female sex organs, plays a crucial role in facilitating reproduction.
In males, this system includes structures such as the testes, which produce sperm, and in females, it comprises the ovaries, which produce eggs.
Did a set of anatomical drawings (this is 1/4 of them) inspired by Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Took forever to do the coffee staining, but I’m satisfied that I used charcoal as a medium and not colored pencils.
Fun fact, scraping coffee paper does produce a coffee scent. That, or the constant making of coffee paper was starting to have an effect on me.
(Note to future me: while scalpels are useful for fraying the edges, be more cautious)
Love the Academia aesthetics, but all they talk about drinking is coffee, tea, even the sodas in Punk and Chaotic academia
Which is all okay and real cool, except for the fact that my body abuses (it doesn't even have the decency to call it fucking) me whenever it comes to what I drink (and eat). That and sensory issues.
Coffee is ew to me. And I can only take a few sips of a very select few types of tea and sodas, that I actually enjoy the taste of, before my stomach starts punching my crippled emotional state
Gotta be over in the corner. Just carrying a real cool bottle of water being like
Here be a webcomic! HERO’s Incomprehensive Cookbook... of Medicine - Digestive System edition.
This was a little pilot project, combining a fascination of the biological sciences with a need to practice illustrating in Procreate and a recent love of the RPG OMORI. Hero, Kel, and really all of the images were so much fun to draw. I plan to go through as many of the Anatomy & Physiology topics (plus Nutrition) so I get an excuse to draw all the characters in OMORI.
