By doing this virtual dissection my understanding of where things are in the heart and their functions has shot up. For me when I get to research by myself and get hands I learn a lot more so this was great for just that. For me it would have been even better to have done it with my hands. But now I have a better idea of how the heart works. I found it good to be able to see the parts not on a diagram and seeing it without colour coding. But I believe that being able to cut open a heart and seeing and feeling it first hand would definitely be better.

5 In a living animal, what body movements force air from the lungs?

When I first saw the lung, that was deflated, it was smaller than I expected but lambs are small so that probably had a part to play. The trachea felt really weird when I felt it because of the cartilage.

When I inflated the lung it was harder, because the lungs had been punctured and some of the air was leaking making it more difficult. From this I learned that a living creatures lung could be punctured and depending on the size of the puncture this can reduce lung capacity to fatal

Pig Dissection Reflection

Anticipate While Dissecting Fetal Pigs I have performed many dissections in the past including a rat, a frog, worms, and a fetal pig (in fifth grade!). However, because I have not done a dissection in a long time, I won’t be familiar with the tools. There will probably be a learning curve. We haven’t studied anatomy much this year (although I did study all of the organ systems a lot in preparation for the AP test) so I think this dissection will be very helpful in understanding pig, mammalian, and…
