#the vitreous humor felt like a firm jelly which was weird. not jello but like jelly in a jar

today we dissected a cow eye and it was gross but once we cut it all the way inside it was fine. still gross but all the gross parts were cool so it was okay. in the back of a cow eye there's something called a tatetum or something I forget how it's spelled and it reflects the light inside the eye back out so it has a second chance to be viewed. this is basically night vision. humans don't have that because it kinda blurs sight and we needed precise seeing evolutionarily. it looks hella pretty though. the one my partner and I cut open was a pretty shade of blue but someone else at our table looked like I guess the closest description would be an iridescent butterfly's wing? it was genuinely one of the prettiest things I have ever seen and it was the inside of a cow eyeball.
