I love Biology

The best thing i like about biology, is that its not just all textbooks. You get to go on field trips, museums (boring, but better than sitting on your arse all day), and cutting stuff open!
I shall nao show pics of a dissection of a rat. Conducted by yours truly.

Anyone with a weak stomach PLEASE KEEP READING! wanna see if i make you puke

So on that day, we walked to the Zoology labs. Thats where we normally have our weekly laboratory sessions. but this time, guess what we saw on our tables!!!


this is my rat, i named him chucky
The lecturer gave us a brief walkthrough of what we were spossed to do, by demonstrating a dissection on his own rat. So we watched, some flinched, some groaned.. I was itching to get started.
DISSECTION FOR DUMMIES: VOLUME 1

1st step: use tweezers, firmly pull up the skin. Use sciccors and CUT


Once a hole in the skin is made, use sciccors to cut a line through the body. Peel back the outer skin to reveal the mucsles.



Next, cut the mucsles and peel it back. Now we get to see the internal organs! Starts to get real stinky from here.

kay, i am not a psychopath. The lecturer told us to yank out the small intestines. This is to see how long it actually is. AND ITS DAMN LONG
After the dissection, decorate your rat!

This was the 1st of two dissections in the first semester. The other one was the heart and lungs of a sheep. Didnt take any pictures, cause i figured i should start acting like a student, not a photo snapping tourist.

FUN RITE!
