What have we been learning about? For the past few days, we have been learning about the heart as well as the circulatory system. We are also learning about the parts of the heart and their purpose, and the circulatory system's labels and functions.
Why are we dissecting heart? We dissected the heart to find out what each part of the heart does, and explain their purposes.
What are the parts of the heart? Did you see them?
- Pulmonary Artery - The right ventricle artery which pumps oxygen to the lungs. Atrium - The atrium is the upper chamber of the heart that receives blood.
- Ventricle - The ventricle is responsible for pumping the blood away from the heart.
- Valves - The purpose of the valves is to move the blood around the body.
- Atrium - The atrium is the upper chamber of the heart that receives blood.
However, we didn't see the atrium and the veins because they were cut off when we started dissecting them.
Did you enjoy the dissection? Why/why not? Yes, I really enjoyed the dissection because It was the first time I have ever touched a pig's heart as well as dissecting on it. It did smell a bit but it didn't really bother me that much. Here are some pictures of our dissection!
