Dissection is the process of studying and disassembling a deceased animal or plant to enrich the understanding of the anatomical structure. As a student I do enjoy dissecting animals because it does give me a good understanding of what our organs and body parts look like and how they are all related.

PRE-LAB: 1. The value to students of dissecting a mammal‚ especially a pig because most students like to learn hands on giving them an opportunity to dissect a pig gives us a chance to give us a visual and help us understand the systems in a mammal. 2. My feeling about dissecting a pig is nervous because it is a real pig even though it is fetal. I feel like I will end up cutting the pig in the wrong spot. I am also excited to dissect the pig because I have never experienced this before and think
