In lab we performed wet dissections of pig hearts. It was a crazy experience for me. I had never done a dissection before, and after I got over the smell of the formaldehyde it was amazing! It was such a powerful way to learn about the heart. Being able to hold a real heart and see where blood actually traveled was incredible. It very helpful for practicing the anatomy of the heart. It was also an amazing experience to hold a real heart in my hands. I was in awe of how powerful the heart was. The design and structure where so precise and intricate. The lab was inspiring and very exciting. I couldn’t believe how perfect this structure was, a perfect machine.
Pictures I took from the dissection:
Here I am holding the heart

In this shot you can see the pulmonary semi-lunar valves
