conditioning in rats. The purpose of the experiment was to condition rats to suppress certain hunger behaviors such as water licking. Burdick and James paired the neutral stimulus of white light with shock in a “test chamber” to see if rats would develop an association between the two stimuli. Naturally‚ shock induces a fear-like freezing behavior‚ and after being conditioned the rats displayed the same behavior but only to the white light. Furthermore‚ they would then place the rats back in their

Tools needed for the dissection of the sheep heart are; 1 scalpel and 3-4 mall probes. Before cutting into the heart‚ trim the fat around the atria and great vessels. Also be sure to identify and explore a few structures/features such as the base and apex of the heart before making any incisions. [pic] You will need to orient the heart so that the vena cava is placed dorsally. The apex of the heart will be inferior to the base. The superior/inferior

Preparing for Dissection The first thing to do when preparing to dissect a shark is to get a pair of gloves so the smell of shark and the raw shark is not touched and on whoever will be dissecting. The next thing to do is get all of the materials that will be needed while dissecting the shark. The things that will be needed are: scalpel‚ tweezers‚ prop‚ pickups‚ scissors‚ and a tube to put the shark in. Then of course the last thing needed before beginning the dissection is the shark.

For my final project in Zoology I choose to write about the Starfish and Mussels we dissected. I chose these because‚ for me‚ these dissections were the most fun! Seeing what was inside of the starfish was nothing I had thought it would be‚ and the mussel is something I eat but usually it is mostly cleaned out by then so it was interesting to see what it looked like before it was cooked. As well as dissecting these animals‚ I was able to learn about how they interact with one another. In this essay

COW EYE DISSECTION Use the following link to watch a video on a cow’s eye dissection. http://www.exploratorium.edu/learning_studio/cow_eye/video_sm_all.html Aim: The purpose for a cow’s eye dissection is to learn the different parts of the eye by doing a hands on experiment. You can always see the eye from images or diagrams‚ but this experiment helps you get a better visual and feel of an eye. Materials: * Scalpel * Scissors * Newspaper * Cows eye Method: 1. Examine

Sheep Heart Dissection Purpose: Sheep have a four-chambered heart‚ just like humans. By studying the anatomy of a sheep’s heart‚ you can learn about how your own heart pumps blood through your body and keeps you alive!. Procedure Observation: External Anatomy Most heart diagrams show the left atrium and ventricle on the right side of the diagram. Imagine the heart in the body of a person facing you. The left side of their heart is on their left‚ but since you are facing them‚ it is on your

Candida - Candida is Morell’s wife and mother of their two young children. Shaw explains that "she possesses the double charm of youth and motherhood. Her ways are those of a woman who has found that she can always manage people by engaging their affection‚ and who does so frankly and instinctively without the smallest scruple." She deeply loves her husband Morell‚ but is quite taken with Eugene Marchbanks’ naïve‚ poetic nature. "This comes of James teaching me to think for myself‚ and never to

Endangered Species Kangaroo Rat Habitat The Kangaroo Rat lives in arid areas. Many live in the western and southwestern deserts of the US such as California‚ and between the Sierra Nevada /Cacscade and Rocky mountains from southern Canada to central Mexico. The type of habitat Kangaroo Rats live in are sandy‚ rocky soils in deserts with little vegetation. They live in underground burrows that go in at an angle. Some Kangaroo Rats prefer to live in grass-land habitats that are well developed

Chicken Wing Dissection The chicken wing dissection was very helpful in understanding not only the muscular system but also the skeletal system. We looked at both the bone and the muscles of the chicken wing. We noticed many different things that we had been studying in class. In this dissection we studied structure and function of a chicken wing‚ which is comparable to that of the human arm. First‚ we removed the skin of the wing with the tools provided for us. We examined yellowish tissue clumped

Dissection is the process of studying and disassembling a deceased animal or plant to enrich the understanding of the anatomical structure. As a student I do enjoy dissecting animals because it does give me a good understanding of what our organs and body parts look like and how they are all related. In contrast to that I do not believe it is ethical to do dissections on dead animals and plants. Obviously when you think about what you are doing you soon realize that cutting an animal open is an
