ANATOMIZE ANALYZE

&

During the nervous system unit, anatomy students dissected sheep brains to analyze real life structures of the brain up close

Senior Lucy Covell colored a brain diagram and used her notes to help her with identifying parts during the sheep brain dissection.

classes

Anatomy teacher Carolyn Bossung checks in with her students periodically during the dissection. “I definitely had to help with identifying accessory structures to the brain. For example, the eye structures that were still attached as well as the olfactory bulbs, which move the eyes and help the sheep smell,” Bossung said.

A B O V E After removing the outer layer surrounding the brain, students sliced the brain in half to get a closer view of the white and gray matter. This also gave students access to the different lobes.

A B O V E Junior Radley Brown works slow and carefully during the dissection. “It’s important to be gentle with the brain to make sure that we don’t cut too deep or too hard on the fragile pieces,” Brown said.

L E F T Senior Delia Cashman works on removing the outer layer of the brain. “I enjoyed getting a hands on experience and being able to see what a brain actually looks like,” Cashman said.
