Fetal Pig Dissection Discussion

The fetal pig dissection was very beneficial in helping me understand where all the body parts are located. I was very surprised about how big the liver was. Also, the liver was extremely dark in color, which was interesting as well. I was surprised about how the crammed the large and small intestines were in the abdomen. The fetal pig links together all the units of this course, it sums it up. The lab showed the digestive system,reproductive system, and circulatory system. Being able to see all of this "live" is really beneficial to me absorbing all of the information.

digestion question

Q: Why do we burp?

A: We burp because it is our bodies way of releasing air. When we eat or drink too fast or chew with our mouths open you often will burp more. This is because our stomach already has gases in it and when the extra air enters the stomach it needs to exit, thus we burp to release the extra air.

my marks

I believe that my mark reflects my work habits well. I have been keeping up with my homework which is why my mark is so high. I think that as long as I continue to keep on top of things I should be able to hold on to and improve this mark. The one area that I could work on is my preparation for quizzes. I just need to spend a little longer studying and I should be able to improve my mark very easily. yay bio 12:)
