Not So Gross Anatomy

Textbooks are full of photos of random models and terrible illustrations of people. Biology books are notorious for having the worst pictures. Imagine my pleasant surprise at finding this little dish of delicious in my textbook as I was doing my homework.

That’s one attractive torso! I wonder how many model photos they sifted through before they selected this one. There is something sordid about the photo not including a face. It’s so anonymous and dirty.

Sure made tonight’s homework more interesting. Wouldn’t it be great if there were more photos like this in Anatomy & Physiology? I would find that very motivating.

Sadly, this is the only one. There were no others, I checked.
