Artifact: Fetal Pig
For this unit I chose a picture of the fetal pig, which we dissected in the lab. Before the dissection we had a few classes where we learned about the internal systems of humans. The internal systems of humans are very similar to the pigs so that is why we dissected the pig. This dissection gave us the opportunity to analyze the different systems and get a closer look at the organs of the body. A day before the dissection we took part in a virtual dissection that prepared us for this awesome experience. I really enjoyed dissecting the pig. In the beginning it did feel wrong but then I was really fascinated by the organs, as this was my first time viewing many of the organs in real life.
This experience is really good for students who are looking at a career in health sciences. In this activity they get to see if this is actually something they want to do. If they enjoy it then this career is a great choice but some people chose the career without knowing what they will be doing. This activity gives them an idea of it and tells them if they are confortable doing this. I feel comfortable doing this and I think health sciences are a great career path for me. I want to improve my grades next year so I can be a good doctor of some sort.
