Another page from the book of Lococology! This subject of INTERNAL ORGAN STRUCTURE.

⚠️CW‼️: Text book layout of INTERNAL ORGAN STRUCTURE. No gore or anything explicit; stuff you’d see in school books. More under the cut.

Quick Facts!

> Locos have two hearts a Major and Minor Chamber.

> Locos also posses two stomachs, a smaller stomach to soak food in highly acidic compounds then is transferred into the second stomach for absorption.

> Locos cannot go long without food or water due to their very active lifestyle and high metabolism that contribute to a body temperature upwards to 110 F (~43 C).

> Locos can eat a variety of things and are mainly considered omnivorous. However their main food source is Wood and Coal to maintain their carbon rich carapace (the outer shell that protects them) and to reinforce their bones.

> Diesel consuming Locos do better with their liquid fuel diet, but will occasionally indulge in solid foods.

> All Locos come in categorized sizes: Miniature, Narrow, Small, Standard, and Large.

> Locos disperse heat through the Dorsal Thermal Vent (DTV) located somewhere on their backs. The DTV is also called a funnel. The dispersion of body heat allows them to cool down as they cannot sweat. This gives the illusion of steam!

okay, I have no idea if st-blr is interested in this, but I see a lot of “I don’t understand what this means” on any post about the technical aspect of playing music, and maybe people don’t care or like it that way, 100% valid— but I was like. hey. I can maybe help with this a little bit! lol

Here’s a video of Dorothea Taylor explaining the standard paradiddle ;)

You are #1 spider fan right? When you draw the spiders do you use the proper spider leg anatomy or do you just wing it?

Psh I just wing it - spiders have so many limbs, trying to draw each of them anatomically correct is like drawing hands and keeping track of the anatomy of each of the fingers. 90% of the time it isn't necessary and leads to problems with the posing.

Blessed is the cardiac striated muscle tissue that contracted out of Love for us. Blessed is the left ventricle which allowed the blood of the Saviour to reach every part of His body, and blessed is the aorta that branched out to take it there. Blessed is the Vena Cava that gathered all that most holy blood to bring it back to the Heart, and blessed are the right atrium and ventricle for pumping it into the lungs. Blessed are the pulmonary arteries that took it to receive the oxygen it needed for this wondrous, mercyful, painful, incomprehensible task of reconciliation. Blessed are the pulmonary veins, which brought this revitalized blood back to the left atrium, so that it could once more run through His body and give Him the strenght He needed purely because He chose to need it. Blessed are the valves that opened and closed when necessary to allow this process, and blessed are the tendinous cords and the sinoatrial node that made it rhythmic. Blessed are the coronary arteries, which supplied His very Heart with the nutrients demanded to keep It alive and beating. Blessed is the pericardium, which filled with water and blood at the Sorrowful Passion and blessed is every layer - epicardium, myocardium and endocardium - that was ripped open by a spear. Blessed is the Heart of Our Lord, which burned with love for the littlest of creatures. And blessed is every single cell, electric impulse, and extracellular matrix that permitted It to se Its mission through.

[lemedstudent2021]

you’re smart and a med student, do you think you could answer a question for me about this kind of thing?

hgfdsdfghgfds you flatter me lmao. i am only one of these things but id love to see if me & my limited knowledge can help u in any way :)

[lilacerull0]

they'll try to convince you you need to be Cold Hearted to be a scientist, but realistically you need to have that Spark and Passion™️ if you want to make a discovery or inspire others to explore the world of science

and heres the drawrings from that cover i just posted of mou yada (well it's one drawring. but there's an unedited version because i added some robot eye glowy-ness in post LOL)

Finally an updated biology post. Wanted to work out organs/skeletons for Corldaxians, decided to update them for zoronxie too.

As well as some more realistic textures for them. I will never draw them like this again but idk. That’s what they’d actually look like. Zoronxie are a lot more tarantula than bird, and Corldaxians look really dragon-esc. Which I really like bc that was the original idea for their Taysya and Kielni cousins.

Robians, unlike most robots, are not designed to be particularly efficient or logical. Or, really, they aren't "designed" at all. Their internals largely mimic that of their old, organic body, fused and twisted and melted and seared into inorganic material. Their benefit comes from being virtually free to create and easily disposable given the number of organic Mobians to roboticize. Which is excellent, because repairing a Robian is like untying a massive, unruly, fragile knot of yarn, if the yarn were made of metal and rubber that used to be flesh and blood.

I was suddenly struck by the headcanon that the Doctors Trafalgar probably had stuff like this pop-up anatomy book for Law to examine as a kid - it’s the kind of thing you’d see in universities up until the past few decades.
