Martin, the cat, was removed from the bag. Martin then placed in the pan on his posterior side in the anatomical position to dissect the anterior part of his neck and upper thoracic region. Martin received an incision from the superior part of his neck just below the chin. This incision was to make the thyroid gland and thymus visible to be reviewed. To be able to view the muscles of Martin's neck had to be pulled back. Shown below are the pictures of Martin's thyroid gland and thymus. The dissector is pointing her scissors used to during the dissection to point at the organs.
Thyroid Gland
Thymus
The function of the thyroid gland is to store, make, and release the thyroid hormones in to the bloodstream throughout the body. The thyroid gland produces the hormones triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4). The thymus main function is to help fight in immunity and produce T cells.

Gina received an “I” shape incision to the abdomen. Then her intestines were moved to the side.
This gave a better visual of her ovary. The ovary function is to produce eggs to be fertilized by sperm to reproduce. Gina's ovary is shown in the picture on the left. Martin testes could be seen without and incision, but the skin was pealed back on his testes. The testes are where the scrotum is found and store sperm for reproduction system.
Ovary
Testes
The adrenal gland is located slightly in from of the kidneys in the cat. The adrenal gland function is to produce the hormones cortisol and aldosterone. Cortisol helps to regulate metabolism, and aldosterone helps to regulate blood pressure. Also below is
