Rat Dissection - What You're Going to See.


As what I had mentioned earlier before, we are going to dissect two rats; one is for practise and another one is the real practical in which you'll be evaluated for the practical paper. I had already went through the photostated paper which have been delivered by Mr. Koay Tian Soo and I dont think the real situation matches exactly the same as what you can see from his notes. Well, I'm not saying that the notes cannot be used, just that I think its better to scan through the photos of rat's anatomy, so that you all can get better picture of what you're going to see when dissecting a rat next week. I have just found a very dependable source from the internet which has part of what we need to know while identifying the rat's anatomy. Below are some very detail photos of rat's anatomy... Let's check it out man!
Before you proceed, its important to know that NOT ALL information provided here can be used. Any misconducts later is not within the Blog Owner's responsibility.

OMGoodness....... ! Three hours spent!... My longest post ever..

Although this is just a post for reference, I still hope that it can help ya all handling the experiment in a easier way, where you can identify the parts of the rat very quickly.

Quote

Mr.Koay , " Girls, until now there is still no record of girl get fainted when seeing the rat. I dont care. Whether you want to cry, shout, laugh or what, I just want you all to get the rat dissected. Or else you'll have to bring the body home..........

............and lastly, dont be afraid while cutting the rats. You have no choice but to kill it. And the only way you can repay their lives is to score A in Biology STPM."

Special thanks to Marc Perkins and Bryan Yang for their nice photos.

hey sorry, today baru c ur new post><

very kind of u to spend 3 hrs sharing all this info with ur classmates=)i think the photos quite clear ah.i tot it wld be berlumuran darah,but v clear.

i think it's very difficult to identify organs in real life situation when u only have black and white 2-D simplified diagrams. and no two rats are identical(unless they r clones) so u can never get an exact match.

u guys r so lucky!i would have loved to disssect a rat and see the organs we learn in textbooks.

of coz not ur testis lar, if it's urs then manz,ur doomed, so SMALL=p

n anonymous2, ppl post for u, dont complain lar
