To be quite frank, that white fibrous string thingy looks like the Common Peroneal nerve which runs from the outside of you ankle, along the outside of you knee area all the way up your leg, via several branches, to your Sciatic Nerve.

It may very well be a clot, but the location, color, construction, length indicate its possibly nerve tissue. Blood clots are like jello when you hold them when they're relatively fresh. If still alive, the assorted clotting factors solidify them, and eventually break them down when the body senses the clot is no longer needed. I've held large clots of human blood before. Very interesting sensation and texture.
When you go through gross anatomy on a cadaver - post-mortem nerves do not have those characteristics at all. They are very thin, taught and break easily...in fact they are often so hard to isolate I gained favor in my lab group by creating the "mandatory" nerves we were supposed to find out of muscle fascia. (BTW the peroneal nerve is not that long - goes from outer knee to ankle).

Totally agree. Cadavers are what I call dead dead. The tissues, while present, don't have near the same feel, texture, etc as live or freshly dead. I know I'm not alone here when I say I'm unfortunately fortunate enough to have seen the various states of humans including the "mostly dead" as seen in The Princeess Bride 🤣😂

In the last couple years I have probably read a thousand post from people saying “I’ve had enough or something should be done “ from a bunch of blow hards. Now there’s a bunch of Canadian truckers (and some American) that is actually taking some meaningful actions. A few hard working people without money, no backing or organization or a pulpit to shout from has started something that hopefully will attract more and more to the cause. You would think that someone with say a million plus followers or has the ear in some way of millions could have organized something by now. I guess they needed to be operating on 27.185 (the salt of the earth channel) or they (both sides) really are all on the same team. I guess Justin Trudeau needs to be saying “Don’t tread on me” but for different reasons.

To be quite frank, that white fibrous string thingy looks like the Common Peroneal nerve which runs from the outside of you ankle, along the outside of you knee area all the way up your leg, via several branches, to your Sciatic Nerve, and into your lower back as the "cauda equina" or "horses tail". Thats where your spinal cord goes from a solid cord structure in your thoracic spine to a bunch of smaller branches in your lumbar spine which resembled a horses tail to those Latin speaking folks who first discovered it waaaaaaay back in the day. Yay anatomy classes of so many moons ago.

Thanks.. Yeah I knew blot clotted at some point IN the veins... it was the weird whiteish fiber stuff that made me think of the graphiene oxide and what I've heard turns to nano razors blades --those micro slices of tissue coagulating... in the views.
