Cookie Anatomy

The anatomy of a Cookie is simple, even similar to humans in a way. Even though they have similarities, there are some differences.

## Skeletal System

A cookie's skeleton is very thin and flat, as a result of this their bones are covered by a layer of cartilage so they don't break as easily.

Cookie skeletons are similar to a human's in shape, but there's a few massive differences. The first one being that they only have 5 ribs, the two bottom ones fuse into one big rib in the middle near the bottom of the sternum. The sternum is also larger to help the massive plate of bones expand easier. The ribs also aren't connected to the spine, instead they connect at the front and at the soulstone in the back. The soulstone also helps the ribs expand.

The pelvic bone isn't actually bone in cookies, it is made out of a very tough cartilage, similar to a shark's skeleton. A cookie's pelvis is also in a peanut shape.

The reason for a cookie's odd bone structure is unknown at the time, but they have theorized that it's because the witches struggled to make the complex structures accurate and gave up on the accuracy after a while.

## Muscular System

Cookies tend to have less muscle mass than humans, some cookies have built up their muscle mass but as a result their bodies can become deformed. Cookies tend to only have enough muscle mass to do basic functions and lift up objects that are less than 50 pounds.

Cookies that built up their muscles tend to be very top heavy and their arms stretch and deform. They tend to have to crawl around on their hands and knees and have a hard time standing on both feet, preferring to bend down on one knee.

## Integumentary System

Cookies have hard skin that can crack off if hit too hard. Their skin is flexible enough to withstand movement but not enough to hold under hard blows, this is what cookies call chipping or cracking.

Cookies have similar sweat glands to humans, but instead of a normal sweat they sweat out a milky white substance that has watered down frosting consistency. it can make the cookie look like there are white droppets running down their face/body, but it evaporates faster than normal sweat so the effect doesn't stay around much

Cookies have a wide variety of hair types like humans, except their hair is frosting and acts more like a solid object.

## Nervous System

Cookies have a brain that is very similar to a humans, one of the only differences is that their brains are much more durable due to them being made out of a stiffer material. Cookies have the same exact nerve points and pain receptors as humans.

## Lymphatic System

Cookies have the same lymph node placement and structure as humans. The only difference is that their immune systems are greatly heightened and stronger. They can fight off most diseases that are 100% fatal to humans, including the rabies virus. The only downfall, a cookie's immune system is also slower to act and takes out the virus effecting the cookie's body slower.

## Respiratory System

Cookies have very large lungs so they can suck up as much air as they can even with their limited rib movement. They have tiny non visible holes in the front of their face where a nose should be. these small perforations vary in number depending on each cookie, there can be 50-100 small holes covering that area of their face. Air enters these holes and goes down their windpipe to enter the lungs, cookies also have wider windpipes so large amounts of air can fill their massive lungs.

Cookies who have less nostrils tend to be mouth breathers

## Cardiovascular System

Cookies have the same exact cardiovascular function as humans, the only difference is that the heart isn't shaped like a human's. Their hearts have the typical cartoon heart shape.

## Digestive System

Cookies have the same exact digestive system as a human. The only difference is that their bodies fully digest what they consume and they don't produce much solid waste, when they do, however, it's just small hard chunks of undigested material

## Excretory System

A cookie's bladder is very small. They digest liquids around the same speed as humans and urinate on the average of 5 to 10 times a day. Cookies are more suspectable to stress incontinence due to their smaller bladders, and they typically lose control of their bladder when in great fear.

## Reproductive System

Cookies have similar male reproductive systems as humans, but due to their pelvic bones and coccyx having a different shape there is some slight changes

### Male

Males cookies have larger testicles than a typical human male, but the size of testicles does vary in each cookie. Cookies have smaller penises with a large, wide head. The penis itself gets thicker the farther you go up the shaft, the tip is the thickest. The penis sits lower on cookies then they do in humans due to how the pelvis is shaped. Cookies have a large prostate located in the same spot it can be found in humans, the only difference between cookie and human prostates are their size.

### Female

Female cookies have large vaginas to accommodate to the male's thicker penis. The vaginal canal itself is longer than a humans, again due to the pelvic bone, and the clitoris is practically non existent. The uterus and ovaries are average sized. Due to the shape of the pelvis female cookies usually end up getting a Caesarean section. Sometimes they are able to give birth naturally, but it can end up with the mother breaking her coccyx.
