Sheep Brain Dissection
This image provides you with a clear view of the brain hemispheres, cerebellum, and the numerous sulcus and gyrus present.
This image provides you with a clear view of the brain hemispheres, cerebellum, and the numerous sulcus and gyrus present.
In this image, you can see me examining a sheep's brain. As you can witness the structural appearance of the cerebellum in a sheep greatly differs from that of a human. Human motor control is heavily influenced and dominated by the cerebellum. As bi-pedal and intelligent creatures we typically experience life in an upright position and are constantly forced to adjust to our surroundings. Due to this human's cerebellum is noticeably larger due to the more significant challenge it must endure.

Full Body Cat Dissection
As a part of my biology course in the 9th grade, I was given the opportunity to dissect a chouse cat. Although feline bone and muscular anatomy greatly differ from that of a human, some detail such as the digestive tract and intestine are comparable to a human.
Unfortunately during the dissection, we came across a cat that was pregnant with four kittens. One of which had suffered from albinism.
Full Body Dissection & Examination
Despite being completely different organisms, a pig's anatomy is somewhat comparable to a human's and can be used to gain some hands-on experience.
Through my Anatomy & Physiology course, I was able to gain experience identifying the components of a pig's anatomy relative to that of a human.
