human anatomy talk // on organ odditites 

something i actually find quite funny about the human body is that sometimes organs just form additional bits and bobs and it's fine.

like some people will just have additional "accessory" spleens, which are just clumps of spleen tissue often completely detached from the primary one with little arterial connection and it'll just be cool

or like, the aorta will sometimes wrestle the esophagus, or be connected the wrong way, or there'll be a pinhole between atria or the ventricles and people will either have ti corrected at birth or like, live normal lives til weird complications arise and they go through surgery to correct em

the body is a strange thing
