Cat+Dissection+JL

done by May 30 2008 With all the anticpation and waiting, the cat dissection finally arrived. In my opinion, it had to be one of the most enjoyable experiences of this class, aside from the stench. With this cat, I think that I was able to understand better than before the different structures within organism.

Cameron M. and I were able to intricately look through the body of the cat and identify many of the different muscles and and organs. Like I had stated in the previous article concerning dissection, I believe that it gives an individual a much more physical aspect of anatomy that no other source could provide. Through the dissection, we also had to record our data through pictures, which was one of the biggest dillemmas of the activity. In the process of sending the pictures to flickr.com, many of them were mis-directed, only allowing a handful of the photos to be saved. This mistake can only be brought upon myself (oops) and I really wish that it could have been prevented.

Other than this mistake, the two of us were able to quickly and accurately go through the dissection of the cat, even giving a helping hand to some of our fellow classmates. On a side note, I was also very intrigued with the pregnant cat or the one referred to as "el gato pregneto". I was alarmed at the number of kittens that were inside the mother, and also hoiw developed that they had become. [|Selection of pictures]
