- You have become good friends with a fellow student in your organic chemistry class. They are a chemistry major, and don't plan on taking anatomy, but they are often interested in hearing you discuss your knowledge of the body. After our talk on spinal cord injury, you decide to ask your friend about their own anatomy, since they happen to be in a wheelchair. Your friend decides to put you to the test, and explains the way they function in their kitchen, so you can guess their level of injury.
