The Pig Dissection
I just finished up on the Pig dissection We had to cut open a pig and identify all of what is inside of the pig. My thoughts on the whole dissection was what is it going to look like and how am I going to react to it. My feelings were high because i wanted to know what the inside of a pig looked like. My fears of doing the dissections was how i was going to handle seeing all of the insides, normally i am good with that stuff but i never dissected anything besides a frog. I was hoping to learn how to find everything inside a pig. In the External anatomy they found out that it was a female pig. They found that out by looking near that anus area and you can see a difference from male to female. The eye still had the nictitating membrane around

    Place the pig ventral side up in the tray. The pig should be secure so tie a piece of cord around the left limb, and bring the cord under the tray and tie it to the right hind limb. Repeat the steps with the other side of the pig, and this will insure that it will not move. Next make an incision laterally through the skin below the diaphragm. After that, make the second incision from the first cut to a point anterior to the umbilical cord. Since the group’s pig was a male, cut around either side of the umbilical cord and continue with to separate cuts towards the anus. Make an incision along each hind limb, and use T-pins to pin back the flaps of skin. At this point, the vein that attaches the umbilical cord to the liver should be visible. Cut the vein so that the flap of skin that is attached to the umbilical cord is able to be pinned to the tray. The following parts should be able to be identified at this point: the diaphragm, liver, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, caecum, rectum, gallbladder, pancreas, and spleen. Diagrams should be drawn to identify each of the parts of the digestive system. After creating a diagram, remove the liver and try not to cut the major blood vessels that surround it. Make another incision anterior to the stomach and do not cut through the diaphragm. Cut through the rectum and get as close to the anus as possible, remove the digestive tract after that.…

    Christine describes what the heart looks like in the body now that the lungs and ribs are gone; "The heart muscle itself does not look so much different from chicken--a little stiffer and grayer, perhaps--so, as we attempt to clear out the blood and embalming fluid, we cannot tell the difference between the flesh and the blood."

    The sheep heart was the first thing we dissected. I expected it to be disgusting, but oh was I wrong! It was so fun and interesting to slice open the heart and label all the separate areas. The second thing we dissected was a cow eyeball. This one was kind of gross - but still fun! My favorite part of that dissection was seeing how thick the eyeball lens really is. The third, and last, thing we dissected was a sheep brain. It was like the heart, in which it was much less revolting that I thought it would be.…

    In The Three Little Pigs, and The Story of the Three Little Pigs, the first two pigs set out and end up making their houses out of unstable materials that, in The Three Little Pigs, the fox, and in The Story of The Three Little Pigs, the wolf, destroyed. However, the third little pig builds his house out of bricks and is able to resist and eventually vanquish the wolf and fox. At the surface these stories appear to be trying to teach young children the value of hard work. But a more complex subliminal message exists as well. When The Three Little Pigs, and The Story of the Three Little Pigs are looked at through the Marxist Materialistic lens both stories use symbolism to show the oppression of workers and why they need to stand up for themselves.…

    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.…
