Nervous system Memes

Ever notice how your nervous system completely malfunctions when someone supremely confident enters the room? That's not just social anxiety—it's your parasympathetic system waving the white flag while your sympathetic system goes into full "fight or flight" mode, except both options somehow translate to "stand there looking like you've just witnessed an alien abduction." Thirty years of teaching neurophysiology and I still short-circuit when the department chair walks in unannounced. Evolution really dropped the ball on this one.

The neuroscience version of "spot the intern." Two fearsome dragons represent the serious-sounding "Crypt of Lieberkühn" and "Node of Ranvier" - actual anatomical structures in your intestines and nervous system. Then there's the derpy third dragon labeled "Loop of Henle" (a kidney structure) looking like it's about to lick the window of the lab bus. Perfectly captures how scientific naming works - sometimes you get an intimidating Latin term, other times you're just named after some guy named Henle who probably wore socks with sandals.
