Is that a real picture from what the kids did? If so, I really like how it's all labeled.
ReplyDeleteIt's real.
ReplyDeletei didnt know thats what the inside of a pig looks like
ReplyDeleteThat is what your insides look like as well. Pigs and humans have very similar anatomy. As a matter of fact pigs heart valves can be used to replace human heart valves (and other parts are transplanted as well).
ReplyDeleteCan any recent roadkill that is in a good condition be used be used in disection?
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, due to the extreme heat at this current time we are unable to accept any donations of roadkill. While it would be interesting to study the rate of decomposition I am afraid my colleagues would not appreciate the odor.
