Heart Anatomy

As we wrap up the neurophysiology unit, we are beginning to switch focus to the anatomy and physiology of the cardiovascular system. To kick things off, we dissected a pig heart, sheep heart, and cow heart, measuring and comparing the main components. Before we began the dissection, we filled out a heart diagram to become familiarized with heart anatomy.


During the dissection, we took measurements of the hearts so that we would be able to compare not only part to part, but heart to heart as well. These measurements are shown in the chart below, followed by pictures of the measurements being taken.

I hope you enjoyed this post; I found it very interesting to explore the cardiovascular anatomy!
