Tales From The Lab Manual, Part 1 and 2

"Often, farm equipment, switchblades, or broken glass can produce a direct wound to the thenar eminence...other injuries are of course possible. Use your imagination to figure out what things one could cut when falling with arms outstretched through a plate-glass window." - from "Anatomy of the Hand"

"The femoral triangle contains, from lateral to medial, the nerve, artery, and vein. The image above shows the left femoral triangle, in case the 'Orientation Penis' didn't make that clear." - from "Anatomy of the Anterior and Medial Thigh"

And Molly, you'll get a kick out of the Hypothenar Eminence dueling it out with the Thenar Eminence;) Oh yes, anatomy is THAT fun.
