Dissection

Experiment 626 Vivisection is a word used by people who oppose operations on live animals for the purpose of scientific research, but those who support it call it animal experimentation or animal testing. A big topic that has been argued for many years and still to this day, whether if it’s ethical or unethical. Animal experimentation is used for checking the safety of products, make medical advancements in scientific research, and prepare new scientist (students). Animal experimentation was…

A highly controversial, and relatively new, argument of utilizing animals in the testing and development of medical research has left scientists in the crossroads on the ethics behind the entire operation. Approximately twenty-six million animals are in the United Stated each year for both scientific and commercial testing, in which these animals are used for a wide range of dangerous procedures. These animals are used for testing the safety of medications for human consumption, determining the…

Imagine being dragged from your bed, strapped into a chair, eyes and mouth forced open, chemicals injected into your body, irritating solutions flushed into your eyes, and chemical substances applied to your skin. It sounds like something straight from a fictional horror film, but even more terrifying is discovering that this excessive torture does indeed exist. I believe that animal testing is cruel, immoral, and completely wrong. Cosmetic and drug testing usually kills the animals, and this is…

unnecessary animal testing is,” (Kesha BrainyQuote.com). This is a quote said by Kesha in explaining the horrible effects with animal testing. Animal testing has been practiced since ancient times. Vivisection was created on animals to replace human dissection, but was banned by catholic church for its horrible practice. Anatomists just assumed animals like dogs, cats etc were born unable to sense pain (Animal Testing is Unethical). The 20th century brought many more inventions/ sciences but…

The Animal Welfare Act is a federal law that makes the minimum standards and regulations for animal testing. This law’s purpose is to provide the minimum protection for animals used for animal testing, but 95% of the animals used are completely excluded, receiving no protection. Meaning this law only protects 5% of animals used in tests. The AWA regulations are so limited that psychological, and physical cruelty and suffering of these animals has continued. This federal law conflicts with…

My group did our dissections on the Frog, they belong to the Chordate phylum because of its endoskeleton, and their nerve cord that runs along the spinal cord and connects to their brains. This means that they have a central and peripheral nervous system. Back to their brains, they’re divided into three parts, the fore-brain, mid-brain and hind-brain. The fore-brain controls the frogs sense of smell (the Olfactory lobe), along with the cerebral hemispheres, and diencephalon. The mid-brain…

Introduction The dissection was conducted to be able to identify the respiratory tract such as the trachea, bronchus and more. Locate the various chambers of the heart and other major structures. Method First the lungs and heart were set out so the tubes that are entering the lungs are at the top and the heart was underneath the lungs. Start to examine the trachea and examine the longitudinal structure of the trachea. Cut a section of the trachea to be able to examine the internal structures,…

In this world of mortals, everything that lies within it is impermanent for everything here on earth has its end. Only death can separate the living from the dead, it is inevitable wherein even the most powerful human being cannot escape from this fate. That is the reason why death is the greatest fear of man for he would never know when and where it will happen thus, this leads him to discover more of his body. Most of us would say that it is not unusual to see a dead body face to face due to…

Gillian Bianchi and Sarah Collins February 10, 2016 Dr. Leydon SLP-585-A Larynx Dissection 1. When we began we saw the trachea, the aditus, vestibule, and the aryepiglottic folds. a. The trachea is the tube-like structure that attaches to the cricoid, and brings oxygen into the lungs. b. The esophagus is the structure on the posterior side of the structure, this structure brings the bolus into the stomach. c. The aditus is the opening at the top of the structure d. The vestibule e. The…

This summer I started at ITT Tech. I started off a medical assistant student. I was going to class on Mondays and Wednesdays. I went to class for six weeks, I learned a lot. In those six weeks I had three classes, Human Anatomy and Physiology I, Medical Terminology for Health Care, and Strategies for the Technical Professional. In anatomy and Physiology I we learned the human body using a systems approach, focusing on the integumentary system, bones and skeleton tissues, joints, and muscles,…
