Dissecting brains
Seniors in Mrs. Orr's Anatomy & Physiology class dissected sheep brains, identifying structures and forms they had studied throughout the year. Students started by studying the whole nervous system, and over the last few weeks zeroed in on the brain. The dissection allows students to get an appreciation for the actual structures they have learned about and the level of specialization present in the brain.
