Benefits of Dissection

Title Experiment 4 – Fish Dissection Introduction The objective for this experiment is to study and provide a detailed overview of the physiology of the fish, Oreochromis Mossambicus. This experiment identifies and studies the unique physiological characteristics and adaptations that allow fish to survive and thrive in an aquatic environment. Besides that, this experiment is used to study anatomy. Anatomy is the study of the structure and function of the body. A dissection is the best way to learn…

Dissection Alternatives Dissection in science classrooms is an experience that almost every student has to go through, but one that many will regret. It is estimated that six million vertebrate animals are dissected in high schools each year, and another 5.7 million are used in college laboratories. The issue of educational dissection has become a national concern. Many groups such as PETA and The Humane Society have been lobbying for years to outlaw such practices, and implement new and safe…

Materials: - Scalpel - Tweezers - Blunt probe - Disposable gloves - Dissection board - Sheep heart Method: 1) Place the heart on the dissection board 2) Identify as many of the external features as you can: right and left atria, right and left ventricles, aorta, vena cava, pulmonary arteries and veins. 3) Use the blunt probe to investigate which chamber of the heart the blood vessels enter or leave. Use the scalpel to make cut as shown in Figure 1. Cut with the blade pointing upwards and away from…

Classification of aortic dissection: Classification is depends on location since treatment and prognosis relies on upon the part of aorta included. Extent and localization of aortic dissection is classified utilizing the Stanford or DeBakey classification (Geller et al., 2007). Stanford classification: In the Stanford classification, which is generally utilized, type A dissections are dissections including the ascending aorta in regardless to the site of the intimal tear or…

because it prevents traumatic blows from damaging the soft tissue that lies below it (lungs, heart, stomach, liver, spleen etc.). U) Outline any special safety procedure that must be followed when performing a dissection. The safety procedures that must be followed when performing a dissection is to first have goggles in case any fluids squirt out of the specimen. Before cutting the specimen open gloves should be put on for sanitary reason and once gloves are on, precautions should be taken while cutting…

Rat Dissection Prelab 1. Is your left like your right side? It should be similar to your right but there can be differences like if damage was done to one side or if one side was mutated and disfigured. 2. Name an animal that doesn’t have a left and right side. Snakes don’t have a left and right side but there is an interesting study about that which is that Adult snakes (16 of 20 snakes) preferred to coil in the clockwise direction. Many female snakes (15 of 20 snakes), but few male…

I. Fetal Pig Dissection II. Purpose Sus scrofa, or the domestic pig is a member of the class Mammalia and the order Artiodactyla. Since we as humans are also a member of class Mammalia, we have a good deal in common biologically with pigs, although we might not like to think so. Since we have a good deal in common, it is very helpful for us to study these animals both anatomically and physiologically. We do this when we test medicines on pigs, perfect surgical procedures on pigs, and even when…

Introduction The aorta is a three-layered structure composed of the inner layer being the intima, middle layer being the media, and the outer layer being the adventitia. An aortic dissection (AD) starts when a tear forms in the intimal layer of the aorta. Due to the high-pressure environment within the aorta, blood is forced into the tear causing the intimal layer to separate/dissect from the medial layer of the aorta. This separation will cause a new chamber to form between the intima and the…

Name: Date: A&P Cat Dissection Lab Report At the conclusion of the cat dissection, you will be required to submit a formal report. The format for this will differ from that of the osteoporosis lab report because the dissection is used as an opportunity to review structure and function for the major systems rather than to test a hypothesis and draw a conclusion. Please the following information as a guideline for compiling the lab report. Only one lab report per group is required…

Experience on cadaveric dissection. Cadaveric dissection is a must experience for all medical student - either it brings a wonderful experience or a nightmare. My first impression about cadaveric dissection collapsed once I have experience the session myself. I though it must be in a creepy atmosphere, with a fleshy and bloody cadaver, bad smell and scary dissecting room. However, after my first session, I appreciated that it is not that bad and honestly I am starting to like it. I can…
