I love my University life. I love my animal unit (but it's a pain in the ass to study) and most importantly, I love dissections.
I know everybody has been looking forward to the dissections I do. Hehe. Mona knows about my passion for dissections! HAHAHAH!!!!!

After only 4-5 weeks of school, we get to dissect pig's heart and lungs!!!! In week 6, we dissected piglets. In week 7, we dissected chickens and in week 13, we dissected cane toads.

Photobucket
The sheep's heart was cut sideways to check for parasites. Fret not, they are not killed via this heartless way. Ironic huh.

Photobucket
The pulmonary arch and aorta.

Photobucket
We had to do what exactly we did in Secondary school- Slice it longitudinally. It was kinda hard to do so because of the huge cut present before we did the dissection.

Photobucket
Bicuspid, tricuspid, septum and whatnots.

Photobucket
Left: Olivia's and Shirley's heart. Right: Mine. :)

Photobucket
On to the lungs now!!!

Photobucket
Right and left lobes.

Left: Kangeroo's heart and lungs. Right: Sheep's heart and lungs with pleural membrane present.

One of our demostrators, Penny, was excited to dissect the horse heart because we were the last lab session. Hahahah!!!

Penny's art: dissected horse's heart! :)

Cow's heart attached to a tube and air is pumped into it. We are observed how big it can blow up. :)

I hope that you've enjoyed it as much as I did the dissections! :P
