A very close-up scene from the hit TV series ‘The Walking Dreads’
This is actually a vibrissae hair follicle from the face of a (a whisker).
Vibrissae are sensory hairs that are different from regular body hairs in the fact that they are surrounded by a blood filled sinus (z’s brain) and are associated with sensory neurons that have a distinct and representative pattern in the somatosensory cortex of the mouse brain. The fact that they are well mapped in the brain illustrates their importance in everyday behavior and survival - they are involved in things like detecting, orienting and sensing length of surfaces/objects and tracking (e.g. finding gaps in a maze and answering the question 'can my head fit through here?’).
Note also the sebaceous glands (z’s eyes) which secrete a lipid rich secretion called sebum for maintaining hair and epidermis keratin (keratin is the wispy stuff lining the skin at the bottom of the image and forming z’s lil arms).
The hair in this follicle is absent as you can see z’s wailing mouth is completely empty (where you might expect to see the shaft of a hair).
The closest things us humans have to vibrissae are the thick long hairs in our nostrils which are fairly sensitive to tickles (and make your eyes water if plucked) but more importantly provide a first line of filtration to prevent big particles from being inhaled into your nasal cavity.

8-5-18 One thing that dentistry taught me: It’s okay to make mistakes & be less than perfect. I still feel bad whenever I fail to do something right.. but little by little this fragile ♡ is getting by pretty nice. Thanks for hanging around! I’m feeling motivated to get back on track.

Hello Tumblr! Update: I started my summer classes two weeks ago at a new uni. As some of you may know, I left my old school and chose to study at a bigger university. After all inquiries and deliberations, I got accepted at Centro Escolar University-Makati School of Dentistry! Quite a leap for me but I’m trying not to get too anxious

Orange for autumn
Pharmacology, you were a pain in my heart. Glad that it was over, Sad that I’ll be studying you again next semester.

This semester started as a blur. We had four months of summer vacation since the school year adjusted from June-November to August-December (First semester). That was a long period to enjoy all that summer has to offer but believe me, it was a rush and it came by like the wind. I spent my days slouching around, watching Korean dramas, movies, American TV series and made a little bit of art.
August came. We’re all super excited for the subjects ahead because finally, we can be able to buy cool stuff like typodonts, new handpieces, burs, and micromotor. We’ve been peeking around our seniors doing their works at the simulator. Dental materials, instruments, and supplies are too expensive. By the first and second week, we already had the list of things that we need to buy. I think we spent around 20,000 to 30,000 pesos on one trip to Quiapo Manila alone. Take note, as the months progressed we need to buy more.
Aside from major dental subjects like Restorative Dentistry I, Prosthodontics I, Oral Radiology and Oral Physiology and Occlusion, we’re left with medical subjects like Pharmacology and General Pathology. Those two subjects took most of my studying time for the reason that our professors in those subjects are medical doctors, so what can you expect? We were taught like MDs and that was very grueling for us.
My class schedules were 7 am to 7 pm on Mondays to Fridays. I arrived home at around 8 pm. My one hour journey home was stressful because of the traffic and heat in the Philippines, luckily, I easily fell asleep on my commute. Yehey for power naps! When I got home, I slept first for 2 hours or so and then studied the whole night/morning. I slept again at around 4:30 am and woke up at 5:30 am and repeated the whole cycle again and again for 5 months.
Prelim came. Midterm came. Finals came. I passed all my subjects! I can’t wait to share some more of my school stories, works, notes, and planner spread in this blog.
To dentistry & everything in between,
Camille

Sorry for not posting for a while, I’ve been dealing with an art/blog/instagram crisis lately. Posting some content had been terrifying and stressful, I don’t know why. I hope I’ll get better with everything because I can’t wait to write about my last semester, organizing, journaling, my subjects and all.
Since I’m transferring schools, I have plenty of leisure time to do so. Most days, I just sit around and browse the web. But lately, I’ve been reading novels. The last one I read was Aristotle and Dante discover the secrets of the universe by Benjamin Alire Saenz, my TBR this month are We are okay by Nina LaCour, Looking for Alaska by John Green (reread), Perks of being a wallflower by Stephen Chbosky (reread), Harry Potter and the sorcerer’s stone (sorry for reading it just now, I just got stuck) Got all my books from Fullybooked. I’m so thrilled to do all my plans! Wish me luck.

Made the boldest decision in my life so far. I’ve decided to transfer to another school for my 2nd year dental proper. It’ll take another year for me to graduate but I know this will work for the better.
For now, I’m having 4-5 months of vacation. Yey for me.

OINA for life!
This is how i study OINA for head and neck muscles. I know it’s quite tedious but i’m a visual learner, memorizing it using tables is really not my thing. I just make tables for another summary, for example, a table showing the muscles that depresses the larynx, muscles innervated by ansa cervicalis and so on.

Age of tooth eruption
Throwback to my practical exams in oral anatomy, where we need to identify the the tooth specimen and name it in palmer/fdi/universal system, identify its age of eruption, and the name of the specific part pointed! All of these in just a minute or less!
I posted a softcopy on my dropbox account and here’s a link if you like a copy:
