Captured? Give them back!

Did you know, that if you took all the blood vessels from your body and laid them end to end, you would die

Why? The flesh pigeon is your friend, open your room window and let it in, it might bring you a treat.

Interesting, I thought their beaks were just some hard material, like our nails. Didn’t know that there’s bloodflow there.

Mothra@mander.xyz on 30 Aug 2024 11:03 collapse

Most of the veins visible on the beak are for the interior lining of the mouth. You are right in that it’s similar to our nails

Aviandelight@mander.xyz on 30 Aug 2024 12:29 collapse

Fun fact: The inside of the upper beak is where taste buds are located for parrots. Scientists are still studying to find out if this is the case for all types of birds or just some species.

Awful cable management.

Looks like a juvenile pigeon. Cool image

Yeah I think it still needs to grow skin and feathers

Not sure I want to meet this Scott Echol, he has some kind of weird hobbies.

source? seems like AI generated to me

huginn@feddit.it on 30 Aug 2024 11:33 next collapse

I agree it seems like AI

But if it came from anywhere it would probably be the book he published last year.

Dr Echols invented new technology allowing researchers to see anatomical features such as blood vessels with the use of CT. The Second Edition has all new images of CT based wing and leg anatomy clearly depicting important anatomic features for several avian species.

avianstudios.com/…/avian-surgical-anatomy-and-ort…

Which seems like a pretty credible origin to me

CH3DD4R_G0BL1N@sh.itjust.works on 31 Aug 2024 04:51 next collapse

I didn’t suspect AI, but using “captured” stood out to me as well. Assuming the data was CT like huginn sourced, this is a very processed resulting product. So whoever chose to use the term “capture” was too imprecise for my taste.

birbs@lemmy.world on 31 Aug 2024 12:10 collapse

I doubt this is AI. This looks right for a micro-CT angiograph.

The blood vessels will have X-ray opaque dye injected, so they stand out on the CT. You can then set a threshold in the visualization software to filter out other tissue. The software then uses an algorithm to apply some shading to the surfaces of the unfiltered tissue to create a 3D effect.

The red colouring is a choice of the user, it just colours darker parts red and fades out to transparency.

Is this bloodborne?

Pigeon don’t go caw, it go coo; crow go caw.

Also this picture is nightmare fuel, thank you

M137@lemmy.world on 30 Aug 2024 23:22 next collapse

Caw? Pigeons don’t caw. It’s like OP just went “bird, I know a bird sound, caw, so I’ll use that because birds”.

Pretty sure a similar image of OPs bead would show an empty void where the brain should be.
