Anatomical terminology Puns

I am not sure if this would be the best place to ask this question, but I figure that it was either here or the anatomy subreddit, so I have posted it here and there. I am a paleontology student who is putting together a morphological character list for a phylogeny that I am working on. Several of the characters that I have been working on involve taking measurements of processes and structures whose orientations diverge from the orientations of specific anatomical planes, which poses a problem since I want to be specific in identifying the axes along which my measurements are taken to maximize their interpretability and replicability. So, allow me pose my question in the form of an example:

Say I have a quadrate whose longest axis lies at 45 degrees relative to the orientations the dorsal and the sagittal planes in lateral view in my taxa of interest, and I want to define a character comparing the length of the quadrate along its longest axis to the width of the quadrate perpendicular to that axis. In this example, what terminology would I use to specify the axes for these two measurements? I initially thought that specifying the former as taken along the "long" axis of the quadrate and the latter along the "short" axis of the quadrate would be best, but then I realized that the presence of a short “depth” dimension that can be measured mediolaterally and perpendicular to both of the previous two could make this terminology confusing. What would you all recommend? I would appreciate any insight.

To assist in your responses, I have included a schematic drawing below to illustrate my example. The drawing depicts a generalized right quadrate in right lateral view, with the black line representing the “long” axis, the red line representing the “short” axis, and the yellow dot representing the “depth” axis. Feel free to fill in the blanks with your suggestions for appropriate terminology.

Can anybody help me with that please? I'm not sure if I am right with my answers so if anybody could help me with that please:

Using the appropriate anatomical terminology explain the following:
• Relative position of the nose to the belly button.
• Position of the heart relative to the liver, bladder, lungs and appendix.

Thank you!

In groups like this I always use terms like “my chest” to make everyone feel comfortable. And I completely understand the reasons people feel uncomfortable with anatomical terms. However, for me personally, I know that I have breasts, and having them gives my dysphoria, but calling them what they are doesn’t change the level of discomfort that I feel from having them. I hope I explained that I’m a vaguely coherent way haha.

So I’m comfortable saying I have breasts and a vagina, etc. Am I alone?

I broke a toe.

Black Nerve is a setting defined by hard magic fused with biopunk body horror. The central figures are sentient praying mantids, a select few gaining main abilities through the blessings of an intestinal symbiont, the vespers. There are no humans in this world. The mantids are a familiar perspective, but the vespers—how they work and how they think—are what really establish the work as xenofiction.

EQ is densely written and a little alien. It relies heavily on insect anatomical terminology when describing expressions and actions, and a lot of the worldbuilding and character psychology is implied rather than outright stated. Further exposition has been given as requested by the readers (since it's a quest) but it's all filtered through a lens of unreliable narration—we know things insofar as the protagonist knows them.

Because it lives partly on Discord rather Spacebattles or Sufficient Velocity, Eifre Quest doesn't have many readers, but I'm hoping to attract a few more by posting about it here.

The description from the site:

> You are a heartlands mantis nymph training to become a Vesperbane, a warrior-scholar granted magic. That’s the hope, and it’d let you escape this dinky farm-town plonked at edge of the heartlands, where the Ambrosia Woods breathes down its thorax. Unless — until — you you get noticed and sponsored, you’re stuck out here, peerless and overqualified for your tutors. Frustration and impatience come easy. > > One day, alone, you hear a scream from the depths of those cursed woods. It’s a mantid’s scream, and heartlands mantids don’t live in the ambrosia.

The first chapter is here.

I was curious how neuropathy of a sensory nerve can result in both numbness and/or pain the area they effect. How can it cause both of these symptoms? Is this due to anatomical variations between people, differences in how the nerve damage occurs, similarities in how these two sensations are transmitted, or some other factor?

I am not a medical student, however I am a masters student so I do have some background knowledge of anatomy/physiology (though my neurology knowledge is a bit poor) so I can understand general terminology. I’d appreciate if anyone could explain this!

Edit: Thank you everyone for the responses! I wanted to elaborate what i meant a little further.

I am primarily referring to reversible nerve damage more so than irreversible. “Neuropathy” may have been the wrong term.

Also, I know that nerves differentiate based on sensory/motor function. What I was curious about is why does damage to sensory nerves result sometimes in pain but other times numbness.

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Edit: well man, thanks everyone I feel better. To defend my friend I think she was more upset she wasn’t the one to have the conversation with her daughter about it (and I don’t know what term she would have used TBH, she started calling it a wee-wee though so that’s my guess what they’ll use). I think I just felt like I overstepped a parenting bound - but seems like this is still a pretty important one and I should gently broach the subject with my friend about terminology.

TLDR: my friends 4 year old daughter watched me change my 6 month old sons diaper and asked questions. I told her the anatomically correct terminology for his genitals and her mom( probably rightfully so) got mad.

So I’m pretty sure I’m the gentle AH here. My friend had her 4 year old over and she was curiously watching me change my 6 month old sons diaper in front of her. She of course started asking questions about why he looked different than her down there. I think it will block me if I use the correct terminology - but you get the drift. I was slightly flustered but calmly told her that boys have a pen 15 and girls the v-word. She asked some more questions but I was able to steer her into a different conversation. She proceeded to tell her mom all about it in the next room though as soon as she walked away, and I could have smacked myself on the forehead.

My friend was mad I didn’t use a different term that’s more kid friendly. My only excuse is I work in the medical field and using those terms doesn’t even make me flinch. I realize now I should have either stopped and had her mom come in to answer her questions, but if roles had been reversed it wouldn’t have bothered me.

Either way I really wish there was a pamphlet on how to handle 4 years olds questions….

I had an x-ray done to check if my stones are growing, and the report notes a 6 mm stone in my left kidney. Is that MY left kidney, or the radiologist's left, as if they are standing in front of me looking at me? Silly question, but I couldn't find an answer on Google. Thanks!

Thank you Tia for using the correct anatomical terminology of labia.

That is all.

I’m an ASMRtist, or an aspiring one at least. I might be crazy for trying it, the YouTube community being pretty flush with soft whisperers and nail tappers and optometrist role players, but I think I’ve got something different. I read death.

I guess I should explain that.

While the other ‘Rtists’ out there generally stick to relatively mundane or even pleasant scripts (or just finger a hairbrush and say nothing), I whisper about death in graphic detail. It’s morbid, certainly, but there is something to the incongruity of a pleasant tingle and the word ‘eviscerate,’ isn’t there?

Really, it started to fight the boredom of the read. ASMR probably doesn’t seem like acting—the dull one sided dialogue and the gimmicky triggers—but it is. You have to appear interested and engaged, when your only real audience is a Nikon DSLR and a microphone with silicone ears. For me, gore was that necessary component that made it bearable.

“You’re probably frightened right now. Oh? This knife is a Gerber Terracraft in Flat Sage. The color looks really nice with crimson. Link in the description below.”

Yeah, I plug. But an artist has to make a living and my patreon hasn’t quite taken off yet.

“Let’s just start here at your navel and work our way up to the sternum. There we go, right along the linea alba. Does it hurt? Yeah, I bet it does. Your eyes are widening and your face has gone as white as a sheet. That’s shock. Your small intestine doesn’t belong on the outside and your body knows it.”

My performance takes a lot of anatomical research to really sell it. I have to know my way around pain terminology, nociceptor pathways, referred pain, visceral pain. There was a learning curve at first.

“Oh, so sleepy…that’s okay. This is an EpiPen.”

I tap my nails on the plastic cylinder, still a sucker for some of the tropes.

“It’s an Epinephrine auto-injection device. A vasopressor. And…. Welcome back. Now where were we? Right. Did you know you have to excise a lot of connective tissue to actually strangle someone with their own intestines? You didn’t? Well, I’ll show you.”

So far I have a small but very committed audience. They must like the concept or the delivery. Maybe they just like my foley work—the squish of innards or an off-camera scream, muffled by a wad of gauze and two feet of duct tape. It seems so real.

“What’s that? Please? Oh, ‘please stop.’ …No.”

For those who subscribe to my patreon, well, they know my secrets. Jeremy was a rapist and for a t

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Hi, everyone. Thanks to everyone who takes the team to read and/or reply to this. Some initial caveats: Firstly I had no idea how long this was going to be when I started writing it, so no worries if it's TL;DR (I actually left out a bunch of stuff I meant to discuss, believe it or not). It would be nice to get some responses but if it winds up being more of a journaling exercise that nobody reads, so be it. Secondly, some of the ways I feel about my own gender are kind of similar to things that TERFs and other transphobes project onto trans/enby folks so I just want to emphasize up front that in talking about my own personal lived experience of gender I by no means intend to invalidate anyone else's different experiences. Trans and nonbinary identities are valid! All that being said...

I've been doing a lot of thinking about my gender identity recently, but after a bunch of googling terms that seem sort of descriptive of my situation I feel kind of like one of those scenes from a cartoon where bullets shoot around a character in a perfect outline - a lot of terms/gender identities are 'near misses' but none is a 'direct hit'. I know that labels are to be taken with a grain of salt and that I don't strictly speaking need one to be valid, but I figure I should at least do my due diligence of checking to see if there's a community/identity out there that fits my experience. I feel like I'm getting nowhere with unguided googling so I figured I'd check if this community has some insight.

I'm AMAB and I've generally gone through life comfortable with being treated as a cisgender man. I'm starting to push 40, so of course for a lot of my life I didn't have the context to really think about there being any other option. I was lucky enough to have pretty progressive parents, with positive examples of non-toxic masculinity and femininity and not a lot of pressure to gender-conform. Since a young age I've always connected more easily with girls/women as close friends, although there was a while as a kid when I was bullied out of doing so. I can and do build strong connections with men too, but it comes easier with women. Ever since I was a teenager I've very consciously rejected the idea of strict gender roles, and sought to explore and be in touch with all aspects of my personality regardless of whether they would normally be viewed as "masculine" or "feminine" and as such express a number of traditionally "feminine" traits (e.g. sensitivity, being in touch with

Do your worst!

How the hell am I suppose to know when it’s raining in Sweden?

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Now that I listen to albums, I hardly ever leave the house.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

Two muffins are in an oven, one muffin looks at the other and says "is it just me, or is it hot in here?"

Then the other muffin says "AHH, TALKING MUFFIN!!!"

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

It really does, I swear!

Flowerhorn cichlids are ornamental aquarium fish noted for their vivid colors and the distinctively shaped heads for which they are named. Their head protuberance, or kok, is formally termed a nuchal hump. Like blood parrot cichlids, they are man-made hybrids that exist in the wild only because of their release. Flowerhorns first emerged for sale on the aquarium market in Malaysia in the late 1990s and soon became popular in many countries in Asia. First developed in Malaysia, Thailand, and Taiwan, they became very popular with Asian fish hobbyists. They are also kept by hobbyists in the US, India and Europe. Numerous cast-off flowerhorns have been released to the wild, especially in Singapore and Malaysia, where they have become an invasive pest animal. Their importation is banned in Australia.

Origin

Flowerhorn breeding dates to 1993.[1][unreliable source] Taiwanese and Malaysians admired fish with protruding heads, known as 'kaloi' or 'warships', found in the western part of the nation. The slightly protruding forehead and long tail of these fish were prized in Taiwanese society as bringing luck in geomancy. By 1994, red devil cichlids (typically Amphilophus labiatus) and trimac cichlids (Amphilophus trimaculatus) had been imported from Central America to Malaysia and the hybrid blood parrot cichlid had been imported from Taiwan to Malaysia. These fish were then bred together, marking the birth of the flowerhorn.[[dubious](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Accuracy_dis
