Yesterday we dissected a sheep's heart. It was really interesting and I would never have done that at my old school. We got to observe the key points that makes a heart function, including the trachea, veins and arteries. Sounds really gross but is actually really cool and I am really excited about what we will learn this year.

a few weeks ago .We got to feel the sheeps heart and we got to cut it open. On the
right side of the heart me and my friend could see some of the deoxygenated blood
that was still left inside the heart. And of the left side their wasn't much oxygenated
blood but the left side of the heart was really tough unlike the right side of the heart
which was soft. In previous lesssons jp7numeracy told us that the left side of the heart
is stronger then the right side of the heart becuase the right side of the heart has to pump
blood all around the body.
Yesterday, I had the interesting experience of dissecting a sheep brain, I was scared cutting open the brain, so thats why I was a scribe. I documented the whole dissection! But that wasnt my only job, my second job was to examin the brain and all the parts including the aorta, right ventrical, left ventrical, pulmonary artery, pulmonary vein etc!!!

Today during class we had the heart dissection, this was very enjoyable. we learnt about where the veins are and that the walls of the left and right are very different. Shown on the left is the left wall of the heart, it is much thicker so it can deal with the pressure of pushing blood around the body.
