Jamie's+Sheep+Heart+Dissection



This year, we were given the opportunity to closely examine my personal favorite organ- the heart. While it was, of course, no human heart, it was still extremely fascination. The heart had once belonged to a sheep, and now was ours to open up. Every little fascet of this dissection was very fascinating to me. I loved seeing all my research right before me, firsthand. While many people may not appreciate this exercise, I truly loved it. I found it to be captivating. Seeing as it wasn't the sheep itself, I also had no problems with personal guilt or remorse. I have this problem frequently when it comes to usual dissections.

Overall, this activity was extremely educational. You really don't know the areas of the heart until you actually see them yourself. Even the tissue density itself was intriguing to me. Everything about this assignment was extraordinarily interesting to me, and I must say I learned a great deal.
