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\u2019t believe how perfect this structure was, a perfect machine.<\/p>\n<p>Pictures I took from the dissection:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/bi265-humananatomyatcolby\/files\/2014\/02\/LarelWhitneyHEart.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"LarelWhitneyHEart\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/bi265-humananatomyatcolby\/files\/2014\/02\/LarelWhitneyHEart.jpg\" width=\"430\" height=\"571\" \/><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/bi265-humananatomyatcolby\/files\/2014\/02\/LarelWhitneyHEart2.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"LarelWhitneyHEart2\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/bi265-humananatomyatcolby\/files\/2014\/02\/LarelWhitneyHEart2.jpg\" width=\"453\" height=\"603\" \/><\/a>Here I am holding the heart\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/bi265-humananatomyatcolby\/files\/2014\/02\/LarelWhitneyHEart3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"LarelWhitneyHEart3\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/bi265-humananatomyatcolby\/files\/2014\/02\/LarelWhitneyHEart3.jpg\" width=\"521\" height=\"696\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>A nice view inside right ventricle of the heart<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/bi265-humananatomyatcolby\/files\/2014\/02\/LarelWhitneyHEart4.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"LarelWhitneyHEart4\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/bi265-humananatomyatcolby\/files\/2014\/02\/LarelWhitneyHEart4.jpg\" width=\"497\" height=\"666\" \/><\/a>In this shot you can see the pulmonary semi-lunar valves<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/bi265-humananatomyatcolby\/files\/2014\/02\/LarelWhitneyHEart5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"LarelWhitneyHEart5\" src=\"http:\/\/web.colby.edu\/bi265-humananatomyatcolby\/files\/2014\/02\/LarelWhitneyHEart5.jpg\" width=\"531\" height=\"712\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This pictures shows the trabeculae carne in the right ventricle of heart and the moderator band<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BLOG POST JAN 18 2014 In lab we performed wet dissections of pig hearts.
