Have you ever dissected an animal? [like in biology class?]

Re: Have you ever dissected an animal? [like in biology clas

I dissected a worm a few weeks ago, and a frog a few days ago. Apparently I failed the lab, but yet I was one of the two that passed the oral exam in my class. Anyone make sense of that? lol

I dissected an owl pellet in 4th grade (and right before lunch too... ick :p), a cow's eyeball in 6th grade, a cooked chicken wing in 7th grade (I still don't know why :confused:), and a sheep's brain during the summer between 7th and 8th grades. Next year, in 9th grade, I'll get to dissect a fetal pig. It always smells worse in my school rather than anywhere else, but it shouldn't be too bad... I hope! :rolleyes:

Then again, these were the people who thought nothing of discussing shooting the head off a cat from their porch while sitting right behind me, or talking about how they blew apart a goose because they shot it so closely, or even about lighting a bird on fire and throwing it up in the air after to see who could catch it the most times-this being a bird that flew into the school gym.

And people wonder why I'm so cynical.

I can totally relate. Ugh. People are disgusting. One time my friend told me how his friend stuck a firecracker into a dead cat's ass and BLEW IT UP.
WHAT THE HELL.
I felt sick when he told me that, especially because he was laughing. I didn't talk to him for like a month, it made me so angry. Call me emotional, but whatever, if the shoe fits..

^^No way, you have a right to be angry at that person. Doing that to a living animal is just disgusting, and nothing short of criminal. I wonder if you can send I person to jail for that. How much you wanna bet that you can, or at least get them fined.

:D I've dissected a worm once in 8th grade Science class. As a matter of fact :rolleyes: I was the only girl in my class that actually thought it was kind of cool. I'm taking 10th grade Bio. next year and I look forward to dissecting some frogs.

Cool, cool...
I dissected a sheep's eyeball in the 8th grade.. a wolverine in the 9th grade, a worm and a rat in the 12th. I'm pre-med now, so eventually I'll be dissecting human corpses. Exciting!

Lol, everyone going into the medical field dissects cadavers. My mom did, she's a pharmacist.

ahhhhhh........well, have fun with that! lol good luck!
 
Re: Have you ever dissected an animal? [like in biology clas

I've dissected a sheep heart and kidney in biology class which was pretty cool...oh ya and in grade four we dissected a cow eyeball....we went in groups of three/four, but by the end it was just me left :p
 
Yeah: frogs, cats, & juvenile sharks...for comparative vertebrate anatomy. Formaldehyde can really make me teary-eyed so I'd use contact lenses during dissection. It helps.
 
Heh...I've actually been dissecting things in class since I was 9, ever since the fourth grade. I've dissected (including single organs):

- 1 Dogfish Shark
- 1 Earthworm
- 1 Cow Eye
- 1 Sheep Kidney
- 1 Fetal Pig
- 2 Frogs
- 2 Sheep Hearts
- 1 Sheep Brain

and, most recently

- 1 Pregnant Cat

I've done it for so long that Formaldehyde doesn't even bother me, neither do any of the other preservatives. What's more? I've realized I can identify certain dissections taking place simply by the smell.

Crazy as it sounds..I know, but I've gotten so used to it I don't even care anymore.

I've dissected a frog. Boy, was that fun!
 
Re: Have you ever dissected an animal? [like in biology clas

I had to dissect a pig in Gr.11 Bio, like most people.

It was pretty gross at the beginning but it was pretty education and fascinating really. I didn't like the idea of cutting into something that could've been a living creature but it was a really good way to learn about anatomy and where everything is.

I also, dissected a squid when I was about 8, it was pretty neat but unlike everyone else my ink didn't work :lol:
 
Re: Have you ever dissected an animal? [like in biology clas
