Choppin' pork

To end off our homeostasis unit (which happens to be the most interesting unit in my entire...4 courses this semester), we got to dissect a pig! No, not the big smelly pig that goes oink oink, but the tiny, miniature fetal pig that is equally as smelly. And luckily, they did not make any oink oink sounds...LUCKILY. We got to see for ourselves, outside of any textbook or google images or powerpoint slides, the REAL LIFE model of all the organs and tissues we have learned in class, cool eh? And not to mention, cut them open and take a look inside. My team of highly experienced and educated group of expert surgeons have successfully located and isolated the lungs, liver, BRAIN, testicles, stomach, pancreas, kidneys, intestines and heart. Here are some photos...

open-everything surgery!

Would you like some fries with that?

Have a heart, dissect a fetal pig.
