The 2am Debate (Med Student Style)

Every Friday, when we actually get the chance to go out and party, my friends and I like to wrap the evening up by grabbing some of our favorite eats. While sitting there one evening... around 2:30 am... I glanced up at the wall and saw this:





 "OMG! Look at that angry ovary!"

 

Seriously though, there is a fallopian tube... and follicles of different sizes/stages... and fimbriae (the teeth on the picture)....

HSIL looks at the wall for a moment... cocks her head... deep in thought... and responds with:

I think it is an angry bronchiole.

Note: there is another area of the wall that has the same angry image branching off of another one, validating the bronchiole comparison.


And thus began the debate:

Is this an angry ovary? Or an angry bronchiole? 

And if it is neither,  
since only we would look at it and compare it to female reproductive organs and the respiratory tract, 
 then what is it!??!?!?!
What is this creature? Monster? Body part? And why is it on the wall of our favorite restaurant!?!??!
