Pig Dissection

I think the purpose of this lab was to understand the humans' body more through using a pigs' body since they're both very similar. This dissection relates to the unit we recently just learned, Physiology, by helping us understand more about what our body has/does to keep us alive: the different systems (Circulatory , Respiratory, Nervous, Endocrine, Digestive, Immune, and Lymphatic) and how they work. My favorite part of this dissection was cutting the pig. I enjoyed this part the most because I've never really cut a animal open and when I was cutting I could feel through the scissors how thick the skin was and it was just interesting cutting a real organism open. I do think that this dissection was a valuable experience, due to it causing me to realize more about how our body works and how hard it works just to keep us alive and well.
