Pig Dissection

The pig dissection was a very interesting way of learning about anatomy. The purpose of the lab was to help us see where and how the organs work together. The pig has the same organs as humans do, so we could see the anatomy of the pig. In previous vodcasts, we learned about the Circulatory, Respiratory, Nervous, Endocrine, Digestive, Immune, Lymphatic, and Inflammatory systems. Throughout dissecting the pig, we saw all of the systems. Some parts were harder to find than others, because they were underneath, so we had to dig a bit to find it. My favorite part of this dissection was cutting open the heart and seeing the veins. This was interesting because we could see the bright red and blue veins.
