My son passed away in a car accident his senior year of high school and I was able to donate him to the anatomy program at the university he was enrolled in for the following fall. It was a blessing in the most difficult time in my life to know that he was still making a difference in this world for the time they had him. They had a Legacy of Life ceremony to thank the families of donors about a year later and many students and instructors approached me to tell me what an impact his donation had on them. I'll be handing over my carcass as well, when the time comes.

She 8 minutes later just snapped back to life. With a huge deep breath and heart monitor started showing signs of life again. She later lived for a handful of months latter on. It was definitely a life altering moment. She was in her late 80s. It was very trippy. Well anyways, love you Grandma Bert ❤️

My mom suddenly and unexpectedly passed away 2 weeks ago from cardiac arrest. It has been the hardest thing in my life I have ever had to go through. She was only 68 and had been married to my dad for 50 years. Her wishes were to be donated to science, since she was born would double clubbed feet, she had hopes that maybe she would be of some help if any when it came to her feet. She lived with pain her whole life, but never complained until arthritis started to set in, which at times made it difficult for her to even leave the house. I want to thank you, and this channel. Although I am grieving and my heart is broken, your videos have actually helped me know that her body donation to science was a great choice. My dad also has planned to donate his body. I am so sorry for anyone who has ever lost someone they have loved. I dont even know how I will survive this heart break.

So very sorry for your loss. My son died 4 years ago and I don’t know how I have survived. I did get cancer, which was a freak thing, but they took a lung out and here I am, still freaking alive. I was a nurse for 35 years so I know a lot of this but find it interesting. Strangely though I’m having trouble watching this particular one. I watch all kinds of stuff on KZbin now about death. I like Ask a Mortician a lot, but as much as I enjoy Caitlin’s channel I couldn’t watch the one on cremation,because we had our son cremated. You will never “get over” your loss, and anyone who says you will or should is full of it. I found my son dead and as a nurse it gutted me to know he was dead with no hope of being resuscitated. I just fell on the floor next to him screaming the most primal, blood curdling screams I’ve ever heard. Peace be with you.

As a college student in 1974, I did an ethnography of enucleators at an eye bank. The med student I joined was a friend of mine. We had to enucleate the eyes ASAP post-mortem. In those days, the hospitals had orderlies and a morgue. While enucleating eyes, other recently deceased bodies would moan, burp, fart and move ever so slightly. The orderly who escorted us into the morgue told us not to mind the deceased. He said they don't know they're dead yet. If they get rambunctious, remind them that they're dead and it's time to move on to the next world. Nevertheless, it was unnerving for two young guys to listen to the sounds of supposedly silent dead people.

[@j7ndominica051]

What on earth is an eye bank, and what do they do with dead eyes?

[@wbwilhite]

@@j7ndominica051 In the 1970s, eyes were removed from fresh cadavers for the purposes of research mostly, but also for cornea transplants. Beyond that, I have no idea what they were used for. Today, I am sure things are much more advanced. The eye bank was merely the clinic responsible for the collection, storage and shipment of eyes or corneas to whichever medical facility or institution that required them.

[@RetroMaticGamer]

The reason people think hair and nails continue to grow comes from the fact that a rotting corpse's skin tends to shrink and tighten as it dries out, which can reveal more of the follicles and hairs that were beneath the surface of that skin. Modern embalming methods and cadaver preparation tends not to have that effect so much.

Yup exactly right. Back in the day people would lay their dead out for a number of days in their homes (to be sure they were definitely dead before burial).

It’s a great way to connect with my college age kids, when I can figure out how to do it! 😂❤

Loved the analogy in the skeletal muscle contraction in the whiteboard session. 👏👏👏

[@Deaf_Sound]

Guys, I've been binging your videos for days and all I can say is that when I was in school, I really wish my teachers were as passionate about what they were teaching as you are. Their lack of enthusiasm made it soo difficult to get excited about, well... anything really. Now, here I am 31 and have never been more interested in biology in my life, let alone our own anatomy as humans. So yeah, great videos thanks lads!

[@CaseyWatchin]

I'm about to graduate nursing school and this is literally the first time I've understood how muscles move.... Please continue teaching all the things🙏

Could u do a video on enlarged heart and why it’s bad. I’ve always struggled to understand why a bigger heart muscle is bad but bigger muscles everywhere else are good. Thanks:)

[@trekkieshazz]

I’m not afraid of dying but am scared of not being here to see how the world survives. Watching your vids are fascinating. I’m worried the world doesn’t have much longer, what you do is commendable but i fear that us as a human race are selfish and will not do what it takes to prolong us.

A question about rigor mortis: I watch some content from Caitlin Doughty and other friendly morticians here on KZbin, and they talk about how in order to move corpses into the position they will be shown and buried in (e.g. crossing the arms, fixing the features of the face) they have to massage and flex/extend the muscles vigorously in order to loosen that muscle contraction and "break" rigor mortis. What are they accomplishing by massaging the muscles? Is it directly causing the actin and myosin to release, or are they doing something at some other level (e.g. causing sarcomere units to come apart from each other or causing muscle cells/fibers to break down and loosen)?

[@crystalhebrard8625]

I would also like to know please.

[@tropicaltanktv]

Dead people are just really tense and nervous about their funeral so a nice massage helps them relax and loosen up. I think we've all been there.

[@colindeer9657]

Hi Johnathan Excellent explanations for the myths of the corpse. One, you may only witness shortly after time of death occurs as you’re preparing someone. A “moan” can sometimes be heard when a body is rolled to one side after being on the their back. As you know, not all bodies do it and tonal qualities can differ depending on the usual anatomical circumstances but to a newcomer, it can be very frightening . I mean no disrespect to anyone who has recently lost someone dear. Just thought to add this bit of advice to younger students. We were told of this phenomenon when we were students to prepare ourselves.

[@winkyinc]

Thank you for all these videos. They have been most helpful in understanding some basic body functions. I have a request. My wife suffers from idiopathic Syringomylia and related issues such as 5th ventricular malformation. I am a long-time CPAP user, suffering from sleep apnea. Could you possibly do videos on these? Thanks.

I work in aged care. Part of my job is to look after the dead. It’s hard sometimes. The personality of the person is gone. During the moving of the person from their bed to the funeral homes trolley there must have been air in the persons lungs as the air past the vocal cords. Not loud but it was enough for us to double take.

[@ReflectingShadow]

the explanation of how the muscles work was just wonderful! thank you so much!!

[@SilentEcho9194]

Your explanation of rigor mortis helped me to understand the way calcium works in muscles. I am currently dealing with bone spurs (calcific tendinitis?). I know it happens from an injury, but it's nice to have further information on how it all works together. Thanks!

[@sciencenotstigma9534]

I’m dealing with the same condition, and dystonia, and it helped me too. I look up information on these conditions all the time, but it’s hard to find good sources that explains things in layman’s terms. I know more medical terms than the average healthy, non-disabled person due to slogging through academic journals, looking everything up. It’s hard to have time to look up five words per sentence and put it all together, though! I should have gone to medical school, instead of pursuing social science! It’s a blessing when someone makes the information accessible. ❤

[@ComandoWitty]

I once heard a story from my gf's aunt who worked at a morgue. She would say that sometimes, the bodies would actually talk and ask where they were. Some moving too. But she would simply tell them everything was alr, and to go on.

[@TheOzflyer]

What I’d like to know is, hair on your body that stops growing at a certain length, such as armpits ect.., will usually only grow a few inches at most and stop, but if you cut or trim that hair in half, it will grow back to the original length, how does this happen? I’m not talking about shaving the hair to the level of the skin surface, just cut in half and it will grow back.

When a friend passed away in high school, i was walking to the room where his service was being held. Another service was going on as i walked the hall way and the hands were folded over each other. What was crazy, was that the Hands were almost floating about 6 inches above the body.

[@ILOVENJ00]

Thank you for the wonderful work you do!

[@Chelle8847]

One thing i found really interesting, is that i was in a coma a couple years back with multi organ failure, in ICU. What no onr tells u, is how much ur body goes through, and it takes sometimes years to recover, and horrible things have happened to me since then, like how a lot of my teeth have crumbled away, a lot of my hair fell out, putting weight on, lots of things, not to mention the PTSD. Anyway, one thing that happened was my nails stopped growing! And my hair too, that's why a lot fell out. I noticed my nails when i randomly got these weird ridges on them! Called Beaus Ridges i think, and basically when your body is trying to heal, and its a desperate situation like kidney and liver failure, your body has to use all its resources to fight. So using energy etc on nail and hair growth is unnecessary, so they just stop growing so that your body can just focus on healing! How incredible is that?! I was so impressed with my body that it did that haha!! Its so cool. And well, i guess it worked cos within a week or so after coming out of ICU both kidneys and liver were very quickly healing, and it didbt take long at all to be fully healed. Just amazing really!
