      Not a pig’s heart, but in my first year of university I dissected a sheep’s heart instead. It was actually quite interesting and we had to put straws into the blood vessels and chambers of the heart so that we could see how it was all connected and how the blood flows through it.

      Hi Dodger12!

      We did it at school – but I was off sick that day.. Can’t remember why 😉

      Another time, we did dissect a cow’s eye – it’s fascinating!

      Hey Dodger12!

      I’ve done pigs heart, cows eye, and a mouse at High School! It was awesome and taught us a lot about the different anatomies of each organ! The mouse dissection was during a lunchtime science lesson! We bugged the teachers to let us do it and they agreed!

      🙂
