For our last lab of my Anatomy and Physiology class Mr. Ludwig came up with the amazing idea to dissect cats (sarcasm!) We learned the INS and OUTS of our cat, whom I named JoJo! :) Altogether I learned 90 parts of the cats body! Although I didn't remember all of the parts (still got a 76 on the final :D) I think that I really learned a lot from this lab.
By dissecting the cat and seeing things first hand, it really showed me a lot. I didn't realize how much different parts there was to a cat, and how it needs everything to function. I might add that the whole time this cat STUNK! But what else could you expect from a dead cat -aha!- Anyways, as I was saying, this lab taught me a lot of things. I learned a lot of new scientifical names like external nares (nose), rectus abdominus (abs), Duodenum, Jejunum, Ileum (inside of small intestine), Urogential Sinus (place where you pee!) :P
But yeah, really cool lab! Although I might have not enjoyed it every time, it was a good learning experience. I can't say I wish to do it again, but I won't say that I don't regret doing it :)
