Sheep+Heart+Dissection+sem2

While dissecting the sheep heart I worked with my fellow classmate David Sperry. Together we were able to learn more about the heart of not only the sheep but the human as well. Both the sheep and human hearts are very similar, and together we were able to better understand how the heart works. We were able to identify the different valves of the sheep heart and how each part works together as a whole to pump blood throughout the body of the sheep. This dissection was one of my favorite to work in Anatomy. It helped me better understand how unique and complex the heart is. It also was a good learning experience to compare the heart of a human and a sheep.
