The purpose of this lab was to identify the different systems and to see how they all work together. It helped us learn more in depth about the different systems, and we could see their relations in a real organism, not just in a diagram. We could see more clearly how they all worked together and their importance to each other. For example, we saw the heart was placed between the lungs and the main arteries and veins, showing the relationship that the circulatory and respiratory systems support each other. The heart needs oxygen from the lungs so it can pump oxygenated blood to the whole body.The anatomy and physiology of the pig is very similar to humans since they both are mammals. My favorite part of the dissection was making the cuts, which were exciting. It slowly revealed all the inside organs, until eventually almost the entire anatomy was revealed. I think that this dissection was a valuable experience because it helped me to pull together all the vodcasts and understand how everything was related. I was not able to understand it through separate diagrams.
