>ITT: People who know nothing about horse anatomy

Almost all a horse's organs are found in the "barrel" section (pic related), so logically there would be no need for a centaur to have extra/human organs outside of the ones they already have, providing their respiratory, circulatory and other systems are capable of powering the added human portions (which they should be).

Notice how the horse's skeleton is also built around the "barrel" section protecting its vital organs. Past the shoulders (where the human part of a centaur usually starts) is pretty much all muscle with only the spine, throat and windpipe sharing that space. The human section of a centaur wouldn't need bones to protect their vital organs because said organs wouldn't be found there, though it would make sense for them to be there still as the skeleton gives the body shape. The shoulders of a horse could somehow become the second set of hips for a centaur but don't ask me how that would work.

>>278786 (OP)

I've never heard of anything about centaur anatomy but here's a site with lots more info on horses: http://www.thinklikeahorse.org/index-5.html

Also >>278812 and >>278832 are correct, frontpussy is anatomically incorrect and makes no sense whatsoever, so man up and fuck that horse pussy.

>>278789

So how mobile could centaurs bee without a human pelvis?

In the centaur thread at >>222283 there are some images which show frontbending and backbending which seems too extreme for the human spine alone to handle. See attached pics.

>>278812

Please reread the OP, I'm asking about the skeletal structure and the mobility which muscles attached to it would offer, not whether or not the hypothetical human pelvis would have genitalia. I mean obviously male centaurs don't have dicks coming out the front so i wouldn't expect female ones to, but either of them might plausible have a human pelvis solely for mobility.

>>278825

Mythical creatures which in systems like Palladium Books aren't defined as creatures of magic or supernatural beings, so they should make some logical sense.

>>278832

I DIDN'T MAKE THIS FOR FRONTPUSSY. It's about a pelvis, pelvis doesn't automatically mean genitalia.

Fictional mammals don't necessarily have to follow our IRL science. Aren't Klingons and Gallifreyans mammals? They have multiple hearts.

>>278859

The problem is that since there is no horse mouth/nose, you would need pathways from the human head to the lungs/stomach. It would make sense to include at least some of the organs in the human portion.

I'd say it would make sense to leave the small/large intestine and bladder in the horse end since that's where they poop from.

I'm not sure about the stomach though…

We know cows have multiple stomachs so is it really that bad an idea to have a human stomach AND a horse stomach? That way centaur QTs can legit make Betsubara quips. Besides, if you're going to have a human rib cage you may as well put some stuff inside it.

Which brings up a 2nd heart: let's keep in mind that the human spine on top of the horse shoulders probably brings the human brain further away from the horse heart, and centaurs are probably going to need better blood supply for their heads. They also have an additional set of limbs (human arms) eating up blood supply.

Having a 2nd heart would be a good failsafe (if they were pasted-together chimaeras I can't see it intentionally being removed) and guarantee good blood supply for the head and arms. It also means they won't compete with it as much with the horse body, so they wouldn't be slowed down by running+fighting at the same time.

I WANT TO FUCK THE HORSEPUSSY. I only brought it up because that's all people focused on in previous discussions, and I'm more interested in the other organs and the skeletal structure here.

Although… I would possibly be okay with it if female centaurs had a front pussy which collected human semen and a tube which carried it to an egg and then it had to be mixed with horse semen to make a centaur, with all male centaurs being sterile.

That way you could fuck the horsepussy if you didn't want to get her pregnant, and scoop some out and finger the frontpussy (which should be too tight for anything but a little finger to get into) to get her pregnant.

nigga you're a furry

I always figured that centaurs are a little out of place, given with their unusual anatomy and horsepussy compared to other mamano which are more humanoid (depending on species. Lamias are more tolerable than centaurs, as a example in my opinion). Feel free to call my opinion shit or not

That said, it would be nice to see centaurs change to a two-legged humanoid form like the White Horn pic by a drawfag months ago.

Of course, if centaurs change to a two-legged version, can they still be considered as centaurs?

>>278859

>>278868 (wew)

Well what we know is that:

-Most of a centaur's resources would go towards the horse part that does the high-speed heavy lifting and the overdeveloped human brain. The arms and abdominals would have rather low requirements.

-The human lumbar (let's call them lumbocervical) vertabre would be extremely powerful and well developed to handle the centaur's posture and big horse tiddies while also allowing for broad mobility.

-Horses have big noses. Humans have small, inefficient noses.

-A centaur is a 6-legged mammal. She can have a second heart if she bloody well feels like it.

So what I reckon is that the human ribcage should be almost entirely devoted to lungs to account for the enormous oxygen requirements a centaur would need. Having the lungs in the lower body would be very inefficient in terms of both space and air intake per second. The human body has a 2-phase circulatory system where one half of the heart pumps the blood into a series of vessels passing exclusively over the lungs to oxygenat it, which then leads to the other half of the heart that pumps the blood through the rest of the body. For a centaur, this would be taken a step further where there would be a smaller heart (cardias minor) in the upper body that exists solely to pump blood across the lungs, then down towards the larger heart (cardias major) in the lower body. Major would disperse the blood across the organs and muscles of the lower body, which would then lead back to the other half of the cardis major that would pump the blood directly back to the minor.

The question is, where do the brain and upper muscles come into this? If they are supplied alongside the major, then wouldn't that cause pressure problems where the heart sucks all the blood away? If she gets her heartrate up by running, her major would pull in all the blood, causing a sudden drop in blood pressure to the brain thus making her pass out. If the major supplied her upper body too, it would need to be much larger and have greater energy demands. Having the blood pass through the upper body first might cause serious problems because of the strain on the capillaries. I'm not a doctor or a plumber so I'm not really qualified to give an answer. I think the best option would be to overengineer it and give her yet another pair of chambers: In her minor, the part that takes in the freshly oxygenated blood would split into two with one pumping to the major and the other pumping across her upper body and back into the minor. That's a total of 10 heart chambers!

The oesophagus will pass directly through the upper body into a stomach in the lower. This is better also because it lowers the center of balance and keeps the upper body lighter.

As for the pelvis? Of course not! Giraffes, sauropods and ornithomimids all have/had very long necks with a great range of mobility. A pelvis with nothing to hinge onto will not help increase strength or mobility. What will is better vertibre. The lumbocervical vertibre would have much larger processes -particularly spinous- for greater muscle attatchment. Amongst other adaptations that are well over my head.

Centaurs are either mouth-breathers or have jew noses. Deal with it.

Also, quit with the reddit spacing, dickhead.

Nice argument you've got there, my man.

Sure showed me.

>>281284

Does this count anon?

>>278979

Just give up anon, horse pussy is best pussy. Stop being such a Normalfag, where do you think we are?

Also, >>278786 (OP) check this out.

>>278786 (OP)

I'm conflicted on it on whether they should have one or two sets of genitals. I wanna be able to screw her in missionary, but it takes away more "realism". I think I lean more towards just one in the back. Regardless of what she has, I'd treat her well and would love to eat out and fuck whatever pussy she has.
