Upon completion of this exercise, the student should be able to dissect a chicken drumstick and identify the superficial and internal anatomies of a long bone.…
Anatomy- Greek meaning “to cut apart”- studies the structure of body parts and their relationship to one another.…
❖ Organs are made of up a group of tissues that work together. At this level, tissues require the use of a microscope.…
The human body is much organised. Specialised groups of cells form tissues, tissues form organs, and organs form body systems. An organ is a specialised group of tissues that completes a particular function and sometimes it may complete more than one function. Example of an organ can be the brain, heart, eyes, bones, intestines, pancreas, rectum, ears, stomach, liver, and gallbladder. There are nearly up to 78…
Identify the letter of the choice that best completes the statement or answers the question.…
| The topics of human anatomy and physiology are difficult to separate because the structures of the body parts are closely related to their Functions.…
All organisms in the world have a range of systems and organs in their body. Some organisms may share similar body systems while others have absolutely nothing in common. Several of those organisms include humans, pigs, crayfish, and earthworms. From their mushy, gushy organs to their soft, gentle skin, you may think, “How are humans and pigs possibly alike? Or a crayfish and an earthworm?” In many ways they may not be, but in other ways, they are very much alike. The body systems that will be compared and contrasted of these organisms are the nervous, circulatory, reproductive, muscular, integumentary, digestive, excretory, and skeletal systems.…
Dissecting scissors or scalpels will be used to cut open the frog's abdomen. To cut open the frog's abdomen with either dissecting scissors or a scalpel. Forceps and Dissecting Probe To remove or push parts of the frog out of the way in order to view all the organs contained in the lesson plan. Forceps or tweezers allow to pull things out of the way, and grasp parts for cutting. The dissecting probe serves to push organs aside without damaging them. Dissecting Tray and Paper towels Dissecting trays keep the mess contained, and provide a surface on which to cut and stick dissecting pins. Plastic Bag Once the dissection is over to dispose of the carcass.…
Cells specialize to form specific tissue and organs by getting the right balance of temperature, ph balance, and hormones. They also must make sure that these soon to be tissues are exposed to things that would normally happen inside the body.…
Hippocrates’ views on the human body came from external views and observations of the sick. In the ancient world, excepting Alexandria, human dissection was considered amoral and taboo, and as such Hippocrates was unable to look inside the human body to examine the makeup of humans. So, he found two ways to study the body. Firstly, he dissected animals such as pigs and dogs (pigs were an especially good choice because of their anatomical similarity to humans) For example, in “The Nature of Man,” Hippocrates notes, “In those cases where there is a spontaneous discharge of bloody urine, it indicates rupture of a small vein in the kidneys.” We know that Hippocrates did not discover ruptured kidneys from fresh corpses, and so it indicates that such a discovery came from the dissection of an animal. Hippocrates’ knowledge of organs mostly came from his examinations of animals, for there was no other way for him to examine the body’s…
They would cut through the tissue and use a bone saw to cut the bone. Then they would see together the cut…
The body is made up of a number of systems that all interlink and produce everything we need in order to survive. Within the body there is the digestive system; the circulatory system, the nervous system, the muscular system, the skeletal system and the reproductive system. These systems are all part of one another and they share organs, tissues and cells and that is how they interlink.…
Sheep have a four-chambered heart, as do humans. By studying a sheep heart you can learn about your own heart at the same time.…
When scientists print out organs, they have to worry about how it will function. Organs are not like normal objects, they have very complicated insides that have to be replicated precisely as they are in order to work. For example, the heart consists of many chambers and blood vessels that are all important for it to function. Getting these replicated cells to behave just like regular cells can be very…
The Human heart has many complicated processes. Dissecting a sheep’s heart can help to provide an active, firsthand learning experience that allows to illustrate what has been previously heard and read. The sheep heart and a human heart share the same function and purpose, which is to keep the body alive by continually circulating blood around the body. Like a human heart, a sheep’s heart contains two atria and two ventricles. These four chambers work together to pump deoxygenated blood to the lungs and oxygenated blood to the rest of the body. The important reason for carrying out this experiment is to examine and understand the structural features of the heart which will help us to understand and to appreciate how the heart operates. The main purpose behind dissecting a lamb's heart was to understand the different functions that each part of the heart performs from the atria at the top of the heart to the ventricles at the bottom, as well as why each section is so important to a heart functioning properly and correctly.…
