Urinary tract wallpaper

California artist Shannon Wright designed this wallpaper showing "exuberantly healthy human urinary tracts." Pleasing color combination!

I'll be in Shannon's house while you're in Alice's.

Something about this really pisses me off.

These are decidedly male urinary systems. Note the prostates.

Something about the shapes and colors reminds me of a combination of cream of mushroom soup, vomit, and a vinyl table cloth... which is to say, I cannot look at that...

Spore wallpaper, cool.

Perfect timing. I'm going in for an x-ray tomorrow to see if my kidneys are producing more rocks and pebbles.

"Healthy?" - veins and arteries shouldn't SWIRL!!!

But I especially like the accuracy. The left gonadal vein is draining into the left renal vein, but on the right it drains straight into IVC. (anatomically, left is right and vice versa).

Except that little vein on top of the kidney going nowhere would be suprarenal gland, which is right on the kidney.

And the kidneys aren't on the same level. Liver should be pushing righty down.

Is it a man or a woman? I think there's a prostate sitting under that bladder...but it could be mons pubis...

This could not be better timed. I'm teaching the urinary system tomorrow in my medical terminology class. It's even better than the picture that was sent to me of a sign advertising Pubic Parking in northern Alberta.

Shannon Wright and Boing Boing, you have made me a very happy sessional instructor. Thankyouthankyouthankyou!
