Pig Dissection

      I think that the purpose of this lab was to see in internal anatomy to see how the systems and anatomy that we learned about in this unit look in real life.  The pig's internal anatomy is essentially the same as a human's so during the dissection we could see all the organs that we learned about, and it really helped visualize how the systems actually look like in our bodies. We were able spend time looking at each system My favorite part of the dissection was seeing the difference between the abdominal and thoracic cavities. In the abdominal cavity, all of the organs looked very interesting and unique, and in the thoracic I was especially fascinated by how the lungs looked. The organs in each cavity were very different and it was interesting to see the contrast. I thought that this dissection was a very valuable experience. It was a way for me to actually appreciate what's inside of my own body, and it was an experience that I won't get very often. Although I have done many dissections in the past, I look forward to doing a lot more in the future.
