Sheep’s brain

Peeling the dura mater off

Anatomy lab was definitely interesting this week. We dissected sheep brains! It was fun to have some hands-on experience in lab, especially coming out of quarantine.

We went through the dissection following step by step guide, and learning how the actual anatomy looks as sheep brain are very similar to human brain.

I didn’t get a picture of it, but we split the brain in half down the longitudinal fissure that separates the left and right hemispheres. We were then able to look at the corpus callosum, thalamus, hypothalamus, ventricles, and more!
