Rat Dissection

The purpose and goal of this dissection is to find out what the internal rat system looks like as well be familiar with what different organs do. It relates to what we learn in class as we find out what a mammal's organ looks like and what it generall includes. The rodent is quite different from Amphibians, birds and reptiles. The rat has fur, a 4 chambered heart and a more complex internal system.
The dissection was good and useful in terms of knowing a mammal's organ parts and knowing what it does how it differentiates from other phylums.
