Dissection of Goats Heart


Dissection of Goat Heart


The Main purpose of the activity was to let the students observe the chambers of a goat’s heart.  Teacher sliced open the heart vertically using scalpels.  Students identified the four chambers using hand lens and observed aorta and openings for pulmonary artery and pulmonary vein. They also discussed the path of the blood through the heart i.e. how does blood flow through these chambers.  The students thoroughly enjoyed their first experience of a dissection and learned more than they would have through a sample theoretical explanation.
