We have been learning about the heart and what to look for in one, we had opened up a pig heart and got to look at the different parts of it.
Why are we dissecting the heart?
Because we needed to learn about the many parts in the muscle and about their functions.
What are the parts of the heart? Did you see them?
I saw the Septum which splits the heart in half making it that the oxygenated blood and non-oxygenated blood don't mix. I saw the ventricles which pump out the blood to the lungs and body helping the blood also give its goods to the body and making sure it circulates. Then there were the valves which stopped the blood from backing outwards and they were between the atrium and the ventricle.
Did you enjoy the dissection? Why/why not?
I was half in half with enjoying the procedure since when I was doing the dissecting I would sometimes get a whiff which smelt like urine but I did enjoy exploring and sticking the tweezers through the atrium.
