Hey everybody it's Doctor Jo, and I've
got my friend with me today. The folks at
Axis Scientific sent me their
half-size muscular model, and we're going
to do some anatomy. So let's get started.
So before we talk shop, my friend here
doesn't have a name, so I want to have a
contest. I want you to pick a name for
him or her or gender neutral, so leave
some fun names PG-rated please. Leave
them in the comment section, and once we
have them all in, we'll pick our favorite
one and give you a shout out the next
time we do a video. The cool cool part
about this model is one, they give you a
nice booklet that has the numbers on
here, so you know what the muscles are. It
shows you the pieces in there and it
identifies each thing, and you can go
through all those and the muscles and
stuff like that, so that's a really
cool, nice reference. So it's neat because
if you're studying, you don't have the
names on the muscles, you can pick stuff
out, write it down, like a test, and then
go back and look. I really like that part.
The other cool cool part I like about
this model is this arm, this leg, the
chest, the booty back here, these pieces
come off so that you can go down into
deeper levels of the muscles. So it's not
just looking at the stuff on the outside,
you can take the pieces off, and so what
is so cool about that is, it's not just a
one layered model. There's a whole bunch
of stuff that you can look at, and I just
think that's so cool. So let me show you
here. Take a little chest plate off, and
you can see his innards. Oh I said "his" so
don't let me um sway you either way
for its name right now. But as you can
see, it's really cool and then you can
take these pieces out too and go all the
way through. You can take the
muscle layers off here, you can take the
muscle layers off there. I don't want to
go into a whole bunch of detail with
this one, but what I do want to show you
"butt" I said butt, I'm leading into is this
big gluteus maximus muscle here comes
off, and then you can see here where all
the muscles are. And that yellow line is
that sciatic nerve, and so that sciatic
nerve is one that gives you all that
pain in the butt. And so if you have a
tight piriformis muscle right here, you
can see that nerve goes underneath that
muscle. So if the pain is not coming from
the back itself, it could be coming
because that muscle is really tight and
so then it pushes on that sciatic nerve, especially
when you're sitting for a long time. So
then that pain comes down where that
nerve goes and gives that numbness and
tingling. And you can see that the nerve
goes all the way down. If you take off
the hamstring muscles here, you can see
it goes all the way down to the knee, and
then if you take off the gastroc those
calf muscles, you can also see that it
goes all the way down into the leg. So
when that nerve is getting pressed by
that small little muscle, you can have
pain go all the way down there, that pain
or numbness tingling feeling like the
foots falling asleep. So that kind of
gives you a little bit of a better idea
why sometimes that you feel like all the
way up and down here, but it's really
coming from this small little muscle
being pressed onto that nerve underneath
it. All right so there you have it, if you
have any questions leave it in the comment
section. If you have an awesome name for
our model, leave that in the comments
section, too. If you're interested in
finding out more about the model or a
whole bunch of more awesome models go to

have fun, and I hope you feel better soon!
