Personal Narrative: Dissecting A Large Organ

Dissecting a heart and lung was a neat experience. Holding such a large organ was incredible because I could clearly see the different parts of the heart. The heart my group received was in good condition. It was entertaining to pull out the long strands of blood and watch the heart drain. Playing with the heart was helpful. It made it easier to remember the pathway of blood and separate the right from the left. Holding onto the chordae tendineae was my favorite part. I was speechless at their strength. The most difficult part of the dissection was the smell. I love eating any type of meat so, the familiar smell made me feel
sick.
