wow, i just had the most awesome biology class ever!!!
we dissected a goat's heart today and it was amazing!!! now, i have to take into account that it was only that much more fascinating once we had finished studying the heart in detail. how else could we have identified the magnificent aorta, or traveled down it into the left ventricle with our tools? and the chordae tendineae was simply amazing! we even saw the cardiac muscle!
the one thing that did take me by surprise was how small the atrium really are! can you imagine such a small volume of the heart continuously pumping blood for the rest of the body?
so, if you have any comments or thoughts on dissections of any kind, feel free to post them :)
