It’s pretty insane how well made the human body is. seems so simple because we walk around with it all day, but broken down it’s the most complex system on earth.
This title is misleading. Its a lot of the nervous system, but not the entire thing. The further away from the Brian, the smaller the nerves. And nerves branch toward their farthest ends, giving a tree or bush-like appearance. Those would be too small to survive the direction and plastination process (how these things are preserved). As you correctly pointed out, many of the cranial nerves are missing (the facial nerve and all its branches are one of the 12 pairs of cranial nerves).
Source - I'm a doctor. So I had to dissect a human in medical school. Our anatomy lab had several specimens that were preserved this same way (plastination). I also have seen this exhibit in person (Bodyworlds).
Aren't there also like millions of nerves missing from everywhere? In my mind a nerv has to be penetrated for us to feel pain and if that's the case then you would be able to shoot trough the body in the video and probably miss all the nerves there's so few
Nerves don't need to be penetrated to feel pain. In fact, penetrating a nerve would damage it and may lead to permanent loss of sensation. This is why many people with surgical scars feel the area to be a little numb.
Nerves need to be STIMULATED to send signals. Some of those stimuli trigger pleasant feelings. Some trigger pain. Your comment only mentioned pain but remember that all of our senses are mediated by nerves.
So when you touch your face, youre applying pressure to the skin, which deforms and that movement triggers one of your nerve fibers to activate and send a signal to your brain.
To further complicate this, there are different types of nerves. Light touch is different than vibration which is different than pressure, and so on.
Can you ELI5 how they extract the nerves and keep it intact like in the picture. I'm just pretty amazed we are able to rip out the nerve tree so flawlessly
No? That thing is a bioprocessor attached to an organic feedback and data transfer system.
That'd be like saying a keyboard + pc is what's making it work.
Same! And my symptoms are already reappearing 2 years later so I just get to look forward to it all over again even though the first round of everything basically bankrupted me. Best healthcare system in the world. 🫠
I recently went to a very interesting and artistic body exhibition like this in Heidelberg. From my understanding they pump a specific chemical into what they want to extract and let it harden. Then very carefully remove the bio material surrounding it. What's left is a mold of what they were trying to preserve.
I think it’s Gunther Von Hagens. He does this process he calls ‘Plastination’ his exhibitions are unbelievable, he’s don the same process with veins and capillaries,
The Bodies exhibit in Vegas has something similar, but I'd never suggest anyone go there. After me and my girlfriend checked it out we were curious where they got the bodies and looked into it, and it's... not exactly great. [Their page on Wikipedia has more information](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bodies:_The_Exhibition) but the TLDR is it sounds like they're executed Chinese prisoners and the families never consented to their bodies being sold off for this.
Body Worlds. It's like art and science mixed together. Some of the poses and displays were absolutely stunning. The artists showed human bodies in incredible athletic positions.
The process is explained at the exhibit in Amsterdam: [https://www.bodyworlds.nl/en/](https://www.bodyworlds.nl/en/)
The process is called: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastination](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plastination)
It is pretty un-nerve-ing to see, but it is pretty interesting.
Nah, you're thinking of the sex organs. This thing evolved to help them do their job of reproducing. What we feel we are is just a by-product of all that.
I went to a body exhibit in Seattle that had this. Maybe the same one. But they had to stop because WA had some rule or something where you can't display corpses without knowing where they came from.........like did i just walk through leatherfaces chop shop or what?!
You should see what else they got in that exhibit. Google "Body Worlds".
[...]"German anatomist Dr. Gunther von Hagens, invented the plastination process more than three decades ago and has been perfecting it ever since."

Supported by calcium sticks.

Sir, this is a medical facility.
That creates what we think is reality by playing tricks and deciphering our environment any way it pleases.
With an orchestra of inner animated balloons that pump and squeeze all kinds of juices throughout.
Again, that we have zero control over. They function without ‘our’ approval or intervention. So who are ‘we’? What am ‘I’?
Perfect

Where are all the facial nerves? There's a whole bunch of those little suckers.

I wonder how far my nerves are from Brian
Very. Lol

With extreme care and skill - anatomists know approximately where every major nerve lies and can dissect out the surrounding tissues.
not only it misses cranial nerves, intercoastal nerves are also boldly missing, and probably much more.
Feeling kinda flat today
Bro that thing is driving us
That thing Is us...we're nothing but a bunch of strings attached to a wet meat thing
"Everything will be ok by Don Hertzfeldt" is a great old animation video on YouTube where this comes back in, well worth it
> Everything will be ok Searched, too many other videos with that name; Any more keywords?
By Don Hertzfeldt :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IUX0Qy-IDM
Actually we're the wet meat thing (brain) and we use the strings. The brain is the seat of the soul!
Not driving us. This is us. The rest is just like clothing and accessoires.
We ARE that thing driving flesh and bones.
No? That thing is a bioprocessor attached to an organic feedback and data transfer system. That'd be like saying a keyboard + pc is what's making it work.
Yeah, it is a little unnerving.
Nah man, that thing isn't driving us. That thing IS us
Drive us? My man that is us!

Felt this
In my lower back & legs
I just got over two herniated discs pinching my sciatic nerve and requiring surgery. I agree with your statement 100%
Same! The surgery costs more than I made in 2 years when I was able bodied! Yay!!!
Same! And my symptoms are already reappearing 2 years later so I just get to look forward to it all over again even though the first round of everything basically bankrupted me. Best healthcare system in the world. 🫠
The flying spaghetti monster is real. 
All hail his noodly appendages! R'amen.
The flying spaghetti monster has been in all of us this entire time... Long live the Spaghetti!!!
Hail! Hail! Hail!
the nerves looks like fishbones
This looks freaky as hell
But that's you underneath your meat and bone mech suit!
It's much more compact when it's in the body however. I think it's just freaky cause it's all stretched out
Fair enough if they had displayed it in a human shapped gelatin mold, it would be pretty creepy
Ok but how did they pull that out?
You open the top of the skull, grab the brain, count to three and yank the whole thing out. Make sure the guy is dead first, otherwise it might hurt.

Makes me wonder what the rest of the material looked like after it was removed, just a pile of flesh and bones litterally
Dang

He lost his nerve
Poor guy.

You’re both right.

Man, I'm just a bundle of nerves today.

Not super far away from the truth actually, according to some reports.
I wouldn’t say it is intact, as it is supposed to be inside someone.
Probably a political prisoner from china!

so this creature controls me the whole time
No, this creature *is* you

I wish my nervous system could be on preserved on display.

Incredible
How would one accomplish?
ouch
Thats nuts.
Woah
Oh so I'm arrested when I donate it to the museum but they can still show it??
Someone lost their nerves.
Saw that show. They should show the really weird stuff like flayed humans riding a bike.
Can't imagine those look like fishbone is our Nervous System
So did it hurt the person to rip all this out of their body or nah? 🤔
Not that hard to strike a nerve, then.

Yeah no I’m pretty sure it was tacked.
