Names that baffled me until i googled their latin meanings.

orchid means testicles, which is why stuff related to the testicles uses the root word orchid. eg: orchitis, cryptorchidism. The flower was named orchid becuse its roots resembled testicles.

cervix means neck, which is why the neck vertebrae are called the cervical vertebrae. the cervix of the female reproductive tract is called so because it is the 'neck' of the uterus.

this was inspired when i was reading about the cervical star in my pathology notes. hahaha

duh, but, surgery notes make so much more sense after actually doing the surgery, you actually don't feel stupid.

Thing of the day!~ Cafe: Di Bella Roasting Warehouse at North Melb. great croissants, excellent coffee, cosy interior. i like! plus, i learnt how to make "restaurant style scrambled eggs. thickened cream instead of milk, and whisked using an electric mixer. hot oil in a pan, fry for a couple of minutes. all done!
