Pigs Heart Dissection
Yesterday in Biology, we have been learning about the parts of a human body and how each part works. This week we were learning how the blood flows through the body and how the heart contributes to this. Our task was to cut open a pigs heart and find the different things inside the heart that pump the blood through the body.
The heart is one of the most important parts of your body, the reason being is that it pumps the blood right through the body so that each part of your body works.
There are many parts to the heart, here is what they are and what they mean:
Atrium - Upper chamber of the heart that receives blood.
Ventricle - Bottom v-shaped of heart, sends blood away.
Aorta - Takes blood away from the heart to rest the body.
Vena Cava - A large vain carrying deoxygenated blood into the heart from the body.
