What is everyone dissecting for Anatomy Lab?

DesertRain · May 10, 2007

In A&P I we dissected a sheep brain and a sheep eye. In A&P II we dissected a sheep pluck (to look at lungs and heart) and a sheep heart. I think my school has some kind of sheep discount. LOL. OH, watch out for the juices, I don't recommend wearing your good shirts to those labs!

We got to do a sheep brain, stomach, kidney, and heart, a cow eye, and a cat. For my school this was the only A&P class that we have had to do.

Anatomy rocked! We got to disect a cat, everyone had to name theres to distinguish between who's was who's when going back to get them each day (we named ours Mr. Wigglesworth) lol.

We also got a sheeps eye, brain, kidney, cow heart, and we had the cadaver to get all of the digestive tract down.

This has by far been my favorite college course (can you tell I wanted to be a surgeon?)

In my anatomy class last spring, we dissected two cadavers! One elderly male (about 87y) and a female cadaver who passed due to cancer (57y). It was sooo awesome! To get the opportunity to work on real humans and see their anatomy and study their organs was way cool. At first it's a little scary, but you get used to it.

We didn't disect anything at all! I'm so jealous!!! We were allowed to look at and study a dissected cat, sheep brain, and sheep eye, but who knows how old those were! I was very dissapointed.

At our school, we had 6 human cadavers that we got to open up and look at. One of the cadavers had the head cut off, and then the head was cut down the mid-sagital plane so we could see the structures inside of the cranial cavity. We also disected sheeps brains and eyes, and we could compare and contrast this to the human brains and eyes that we had. I absolutely loved A&P I and II. I took both classes last summer, each in a 5-week session.
