Anatomy lessons.

"Right, we have been focusing on the anatomy of humanoids last term." Your lecture said. She was a Bucentaur (cow centaur) who was notably pregnant. She had brown and white fur, brown hair and a strict demeanor. "Today we are moving on to non-humanoids. But don't worry, if you need to brush up on humanoids see the lecturer notes."

You were sat with Bradley taking notes. Brandy and Marnie were sat lower down in the taur seats.

"Let's start with centaur's for today's lecture.' The lecture said. They got up a diagram.

You started your notes.

Centaurs have a humanoid torso and equine body. However their internal organs are arranged differently. Their Humanoid torso contains extra large heat and lungs compared to humans. This helps them meet greater oxygen demand. Their esophagus runs through their toso and into their equine body.

Their spine, muscles and ligaments are extra flexible around the transition point between humanoid and equine. This gives a wide range of motion. Allowing them to bend and absorb impact forces resulting from striking while running, with either fists or weapons.

There is a gene that consoles hair growth and other factors above and below the transition point. The reason for and origin of this transition point is unknown.

The equine body contains the digestive excretory and reproductive systems. The digestive organs are larger than compared to horse able to process more food to meet a larger caloric demand.

Their ribs in the equine body are not used for breathing but provided structure along with some protection for a developing fetus in a pregnant female. Prior to labour, the fetus's head and torso tend to sit closer to the ribs.

Female centaurs have two sets of mammary glands that co inside with the two development stages of a centaur infant. The stages are known as the carry stage and the mobile stage. Centaurs are born with more developed brains than human babies but less developed than horses. In the carry stage they require to be carried around by their mother while they develop the ability to walk. During this phase they feed from the humanoid breasts on the torso. Once they enter the mobile stage they can walk independently and feed from equine teets as they develop their speech and fine motor skills.

"This concludes our lecture for the day. Now, as some of you know, I will be going on maternity leave next week and your lectures will be covered by Professor Zeth Gold. I will be back before your end of year test.

At the end of your lecture, Bradley said it wanted to talk to you.
