Female and Male Dissection Movie Blog 11

The video on the human dissection really surprised me because I never would have thought that the surgeons would be so calm about it. I found it difficult to learn because the main guy that was speaking had a horrible accent. However I did find it beneficial by actually viewing body organs and certain parts instead of imagining them. When they did the dissection of the male reproductive system I was shocked to actually find out that the uretha was huge. Connected to the entire male reproductive organs. Overall I found the dissection to be quite astonishing.

Blog 9 Pig Dissection

Out of all the dissections the class has done, I found the pig disecction to be the most easiest. My group really did a good job dissecting the pig, and I got a up close look at great examples of body organs. When I disecctd the mink, I really did not feel as if I got to see anything, but the pig was easy and clear. I even got the chance to see an example of a brain and the formation of the small and large intestine. I was not to disgusted with the dissection because I was to busy actually trying to view all organs possible. It was not a human disscetion but it helped create a more better idea of the different types of systems that the human body posseses.

Blog 8 Digestive System What I Learned

I learned that the digestive system is made up of the digestive tract or a series of organs that help break down and absorb food. Organs that make up the digestive tract are the mouth, esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine, and anus. I learned the importance of the digestive system is to break down food into smaller molecules in order for it to be absorbed into the blood and carried throughout the body. Digestion is the process by which food and drink are broken down into their smallest parts so the body can use them to build and nourish cells and to provide energy. It is a very long and complicated process that involves many gastric juices.
