Our favourite organ and more tidibits!

My favourite organ is a bone (changes every year!). Hard on the outside, soft on the inside, bones provide support and structure to the body. There are so many different conditions and pathologies related to bones including different fractures, showing truly how important bones are to us!
I’ve been in Anatomy Soc for two years and my love for anatomy has only grown in this time. I can’t wait to share and dissect my passion for anatomy with you!

My favourite organ is bone because it has so many other functions besides support. It is a living and ever evolving part of your body constantly being re-made with strength and healing capacities that almost sound super human!
I love the food scene down in London and you would find me in Chinatown everyday if I could help it. I recommend matcha ice cream to everyone to try at least once.

Favourite organ is the brain, learning about the way it interacts with the rest of the body is super interesting.
I'm a passionate person, I love learning new skills like doing henna, my favourite season is summer and I'm super excited to be treasurer this year with anatomy soc!

My favourite organ is the skin. It protects us everyday and is the largest organ we have!
I am going into my intercalation year and will be studying a masters in Health and International Development at LSE. I have 2 roles this year, academic and events officer.

Liver - if you’re not sure about the answer, just state the Liver. Chances are, you’re right.
Other than medicine (of course…), I love boxing, Muay Thai, cricket, chai, and a full 10 hours of sleep.

Cliche answer but I’d go for the brain, it’s a fascinating organ, allows us to feel, think and perform tasks unconsciously (like keeping your heart beating without you having to constantly think about it)
I like archery and clay pigeon shooting I also love exercising and going to the gym (thats to make up for the fact that i'm not good at team sports :,))
i really like reading Agatha Christy (when i was younger i was convinced i wanna be a detective)

My favourite organ is the brain, because I think the brain and mind is a powerful mechanism in stress and contributor to most pathology and important in reflection when thinking about spiritual growth. If anything, try and look closely at the Aang photo and see a peacock feather... it's because I love Lord Krishna!
I love music, poetry, dancing (when noone is watching) and literally anything at this point.

My favourite organ is the tongue! It has a myriad of functions such as tasting and speech formation. Without it, I wouldn’t be able to derive as much joy from eating! Fun fact: tongue prints are a new biometric authentication tool - no two are the same, just like fingerprints.
Apart from exploring London’s food scenes, I also like reading and going to different markets!

My favourite organ has got to be the brain. It’s so complicated and wonderful at the same time. It controls so many functions from something as complex as our emotions to something as simple as throwing a ball. We still have so much we don't know about the brain and there is so much scope for research.
I think anatomy is such a key tool to master for us to be able to treat our patients, but I also think it’s the most amazing part of Medicine. I can’t wait to share this enthusiasm with you all! Apart from my love for anatomy, I love to cook, hiking and exploring new places.

My favourite organ is the heart, which beats over 100,000 times a day! There are so many pathological heart conditions and so much research yet to be done on the heart.
In addition to anatomy, I love to teach, sing and dance.

My favourite organ is the brain. I’m a Neuroscience undergraduate, a hopeful and striving neurosurgeon, and will talk neuro with you any day of the week. I’m also into existentialism and this pairs amazingly with the brain’s mysteries of our personality, ‘humanness’ and sense of self. I also think that “neurons that fire together, wire together” is a sick slogan.
I’m an avid reader (how did you guess?) who loves translated Japanese literature and Russian classics, (currently on my 56th book of the year). I also enjoy writing, weightlifting (I can leg press 3x my body weight), eating out (I have an extensive list of places to try in London) and travelling.

My favourite organ is the lungs. I am fascinated by our relationship with breathing: it shapes our head and airways anatomy and has intricate influence on the autonomic nervous system.

My favourite organ is the ear — it’s function goes beyond hearing to include balance and proprioception. The bony and membranous labyrinths are so meticulously evolved for their function and I’m extremely excited to investigate these in my dissection project this year.
I enjoy reading (currently reading When Breath Becomes Air – it’s a great read!), playing the violin, and travelling.
Within uni, I study a lot of anatomy and developmental biology and am looking forward to starting my final year.

Teeth - we can learn so much from them from forensic information to social behaviours, as well as biological evolution. The structure of fossilised enamel is largely the same composition and structure as the enamel we have today!
Aside from my studies, I love fashion, food, and exploring London. I chose Mabel from Gravity Falls to describe me; positivity, excitement, and passion is exactly how I live my life!
