Mammalian Brain Dissection Purpose: The purpose of dissecting the sheep brain is to learn the structure of the brain. We must learn a brains structure to help us learn its functions‚ because they are very important and part of the Central Nervous System. We must learn the Central Nervous System to learn how it communicates between different parts of the body and the body’s interactions with the environment because it is a California standard.
