My Coolest Bio Practical

previous time i used to think dissections experiments are the best.
even according to the joy reflected from my vet science friends that dissecting pracs are the best.
however,
i just discovered one of the coolest pracs that i have ever attended by far.
no boring procedures, no laggy waiting for results and definitely no parallax or whatever errors we shall get.
this practical is absolutely all about OBSERVATIONS.
just bring your eyes into the lab and you will learn lots of new stuffs.
so the bio prac that i recently attended was called INTEGRATIONS.
initially, i thought it was going to be another lame boring labs instead
we ended up in a different laboratory lab filled with many different kind of specimens.
and i meant real human specimens.
unfortunately we were not allowed to take any pictures for we have to respect the dead.
what i saw was something really cool!! and no words can really descirbe it right.
specimens such as human brains with faces and skins still attached to it............ let me think of the best way to describe. it is pretty much like you cut your head into half where the outer you can see those eyes and mouth and nose while the inner layer is all the brains, nerves..and i could even see how those tongue are connected. this way too cool.
some of those specimens' eyes are closed while others are open which is kinda creepy though.
we even saw hands and legs and fingers and toes.
with skin still on it and we touched it too. some were really creepy as they looked pretty fresh while they rest looked pretty acceptable. for fingers example, you still have the top part of the skins with nails on it but the bottom parts are all bones only. gory i shall say.

and well the best organ that i enjoyed the most is undeniably the heart. heart!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! huhuhu... it is really cool to see real heart, human heart with different sizes and conditions.
we get to compare between a normal heart with a valve failure heart..
we even saw a heart with pacemaker in it.. trust me they are way too cool.
and everything we learn in textbook seems so real finally.

maybe you're bored with my descriptions but just one sentence- my best prac ever! in fact learning human anatomy is pretty cool and fun too compared to those boring drugs names.
lol.

the horrified shen.
