disections..... yuck

[BabyPiglet]

in 7th grade i had a baby piglet!
it was actually really cool.
except my partner like, broke its lungs and liver all over the place.

Lol.

Anyway, in 7th grade we had to dissect a crawfish. It was so disgusting and awful. It smelled horrible. I sat there with my sleeve covering my mouth and tried to make my partner do most the work.

My stomach was flopping around, and I actually started to get a little dizzy. I just tried to focus on not vomiting (the teacher said if you left the classroom you'd get a zero on the assignment.). Which was especially hard when the thing squirted juices when we first cut into it.

I RAN like crazy out of that room straight to the bathroom. Needless to say, I had to go home for the rest of the day.

Before this, I thought I wanted to be a doctor. Now, no way in hell am I going to go through that every single day.

I'm dreading biology next semester, as I have a feeling that might want us to cut something up. I'm not sure if I could handle it again.

Ive done an owl pellet, frog, squid and shark. So far the shark has been the BEST. Im not big into mutilating things, but I REALLY enjoy getting my hands dirty and just taking a closer look at what makes things live. I absolutly ADORE biology, but these last couple years of my bio class its been nothing but microbiology and geneology. This isnt bad, but i prefer something I can relate to a bit better. Stuff I can see with my eyes and really get hands on with. Not something I can just read about in a book.

Sheep brain in the seventh grade advanced program... we were learning about brains, so we like looked at all the different parts and stuff... it was cool... it was great though, cause in 8th grade we could all tell when the sheep brain dissection was because of the smell...

that would be so much fun. i would love to do a cadaver's brain.

now that would be cool.

 

[Sparx]

now that would be cool.

you could preform the procedure that severs the corpus collosum, and then see see what the underside of the cerebral cortex looks like, and once the collosum is split you could see all the tissues and nerves. that would be so cool.

Also forgot.

I did a sheep's brain and kidney.

 

[::Snow_White::]

I did the owl pellets once too.

We're doing a worm, fish, and some other things I forgot this year...

 

[xCourxCorex]

let's seee....

5th grade: Sheep's eyeball
6th grade: Squid; owl pellet
10th grade: worm, frog, crayfish
12th grade: fetal pig

College anatomy (last semester + this semester) - Cat. meoww

haha I think the cat by far has been the best/easiest.
my pig would NOT move and I felt like I was going to break his bones, my frog looked like it was going to pounce on me when he was positioned a certain way, plus you could see the eyes! creeeepy. The cat's been easy to maneuver and it's eyes are SHUT!

woops double post.

I'm really looking forward to next week now. Thanks.

It actually doesnt bother me. I watched the senior dissect a shark at my old school last year and it smelled pretty bad though. One person puked which didnt help the smell much.

 

[PosessedEeyore]

We were forced to dissect worms in 6th grade.
I personally think that it is horrible to do...
Later this year we are going to dissect pigeons.
But we have a choice not to do it, and I am deffinatly not going to.

...triple post 2 hours later..?

OH God......I haven't heard stuff about disecting but....it could happen...oh dear I think I might just pass out in that class......

 

[DisGirlAllie]

We're not allowed to dissect anything after the frog incident.... you really don't wanna know.

 

[JarethDrakul]

I had to watch my science teacher dissect a sheep's heart for some piece of work for GCSE....I don't think I could ever dissect an animal, but thats more for personal reasons not that I consider everyone doing it wrong .

 

[Kool Kat]

owl pellet, and a big heart!! i kinda enjoyed it.

I have no idea what you just said, but I digress. I've heard of the corpus collosum, I just can't remember what it is exactly. I think it's some type of bone?

I signed for Human Anatomy as my #1 choice next year, so hopefully I'll learn a lot.
