Sheep Brain Dissection
While I was not as disgusted with the sheep brain as I thought I would be, I was still unable to touch it (luckily my lab partner was very enthusiastic about dissecting). I am not sure if I did not want to touch the sheep brain because it was a brain or because it was just a part of a sheep’s body. The sounds and smells of dissections always make me uncomfortable (not to the extent where I will never dissect anything). Even though I do not like dissecting, physically, I understand and appreciate the importance of them. It is very fascinating to be able to examine body parts in person because it gives me a greater understanding of my own body and helps me learn the topic more (compared to studying from merely a diagram or explanation). I may

    The skeletal system is made up of cartilage and bone. Both bone and cartilage are connective tissues, that is, they are composed of cells in a matrix with intracellular fibers. Just imagine connective tissue as a gelatin salad with grapes and coconut. The grapes would represent cells, the gelatin the support material for matrix, and the pieces of coconut the intracellular fibers. By changing the amounts of each ingredient and adding extra substances, we can produce a material that is very hard like bone and can withstand weight or softer like cartilage which can be used as a cushioning material.…

    Pigs teeth have to be sharp and pointed so they can chew their food well so it can be transferred to the stomach. The hard palate has to be hard and rippled so their food can be broken down easier, while it’s being chewed it will hit the hard palate and break down easily.The Epiglottis is a flap of skin that makes sure no food gets into the Respiratory tract. The lungs looked like a pair of bird wings, we pumped air into it and saw how it moved. The trachea was a long tube with 3 small hole's in it. The heart was the best part of the dissection because it looked like a series of tube's put together to create it. I was surprised by how the aorta looked.…

    Fetal Pig Dissection

    • 12 Pages

    Sus scrofa, or the domestic pig is a member of the class Mammalia and the order Artiodactyla. Since we as humans are also a member of class Mammalia, we have a good deal in common biologically with pigs, although we might not like to think so. Since we have a good deal in common, it is very helpful for us to study these animals both anatomically and physiologically. We do this when we test medicines on pigs, perfect surgical procedures on pigs, and even when we used to use pig valves for replacements in human hearts. Thus the pig is a first-rate example of a mammal and the purpose of this lab is to recognize the specific similarities between the pig and ourselves as humans. To accomplish this we will be dissecting and identifying parts in a number of different systems: external features, the skeleton, the muscles, internal organs, the respiratory system, the digestive system, the circulatory system, the urinary system, the reproductive system, and the nervous system.…

    My feeling about dissecting a pig is nervous because it is a real pig even though it is fetal. I feel like I will end up cutting the pig in the wrong spot. I am also excited to dissect the pig because I have never experienced this before and think it will be a great learning experience for me.…

    Bodies: The Exhibition

    • 887 Words

    "Bodies…. The Exhibition," at the South Street Seaport featured the preserved remains of 22 humans and many other specimens, including a set of conjoined fetuses, an example of male genitalia and a human brain. I found everything visually appalling, yet at the same time I could not take my eyes off of everything I was taking in. Every single body part looked fake to me. However, that isn't a bad thing. They make things look so amazing. So amazing, in fact, that these body parts simply just don't look natural or even real. People get a much deeper understanding of what's inside their bodies after experiencing this exhibit. They preserve the organs in a way that they look like they were artificially machine made. I was shocked to learn that these organs and body parts were once in a real person's body and actually functioning at one time.…

    In both the 18th and 19th centuries, body snatching was commonplace. So-called resurrectionists would steal bodies from graves and sell them to medical students, doctors and physicians with little regard to where they had come from. They were used in the study of anatomy. Up until this time dissection was seen as morally wrong…

    Animal experimentation is a sensitive topic because it helps find a cure for diseases, but it also kills over a 100 million animals every year. Most of the animals don’t receive any type of anesthesia. I believe that scientists who work on animal experimentation should do something pleasant for the animals and return them to their natural habitats, so they don’t suffer their entire life. I think that the benefits that animal experimentation provides doesn’t justify the fact that humans have to harm…
