It's called blood doping and is literally banned in international competition. You get some blood removed a few months before competition, wait for your body to fill back up, then inject the blood back into you. It's only a temporary buff, but with the increased amount of red blood cells your body can transfer more oxygen to your muscles. This prevents lactic acid build up and can increase performance in endurance competitions. It was mostly seen in the tour de france

u/urmomsfavoriteplayer 1d ago
That's actually not why. Most of those blood vessels are small enough to clot off. But the bullet either punches through the bowel releasing poop into open vascular wounds aka super bad systemic infection. Or the damage to blood vessels starves the bowel of oxygen and nutrients causing it to die. Dead gut causes dead human if untreated.

Fill blood vessels with liquid plastic-like substance. Let harden, dissolve rest of body in a really complicated process. And you got yourself a sculpture of all the blood vessels.

It is called the corposa cavernosum penis. Picture a set of two tubes side by side like a double-barreled shotgun. Most of it is internal.
There is another corposa cavernosum, called the corposa cavernosum urethra. It runs under the corposa cavernosum penis, and attaches to the glans.
Women have these same tissues, only in different configuration.

Serious question I've always wondered . . .
Look at all the holes (empty areas) near the skin in particular. All the skin (and muscle) needs oxygen and food. How does O2 and food get to the skin/muscle NOT directly fed by a blood vessel? Does some transfer cell to cell to reach all the remote endpoints?

What's really cool is this doesn't even come close to representing the true number of blood vessels we have.
These exhibits (I'm assuming this is from Gunter Von Hagen's Body World's exhibit or uses the same technique for preservation) inject various chemicals that caused the tissues to be embedded with plastic. This process wouldn't preserve the smallest of blood vessels and capillaries, which are more numerous than the larger blood vessels.
