I used the sagittal cut the to separate into two pieces.
Reflection Questions:
1. After viewing the artery and vein prepared slide, which blood vessel has the thickest wall? Is there a possible reason for this, on the basis vessel function? The artery is the thickest wall, and the reason why it is possible is because of the amount of blood it has to carry.
2. After viewing the cardiac muscle prepared slide, is cardiac muscle smooth or striated? Cardiac muscle is smooth not shriated
3. The prepared slide of a coronary artery with atherosclerosis, what is the danger of having the atherosclerotic plaque on this particular artery? the dangers is that it will lock the blood flow.
4. How does the basic structure of the heart compare between the three heart specimens? The heart closest reasonable the pig because of similarity between them but all in all most of hearts have similar structures.
5. What are some o the major differences you observe in the heart specimens? the smaller parts are different from each other but basically the same except for smaller details.
6. Can you think of any adaptive reason for these differences? Animals hearts are more adapted to fit their lifestyle and also have longer arteries to pump blood faster while the human hearts are smaller and compacted to fix our size.
