Fog Dissection

In class we had been studying all of the life systems. At first  we learned the function of each system, and then we learned how they are all connected. To better to understand how all of the systems are connected, we dissected a frog. We dissected frogs because  their organ structure is very similar to humans. This was very helpful because it really helped me see how everything is connected. I could really see how the organs are all connected to each other, and how they work together. I could tell how if one system failed all would stop working. For example if the digestive system stopped working then the rest of the body wouldn't get nutrients and all of the systems would fail. It also helped show the location of the organs in the body. This lab was very helpful and it helped me better understand the organ systems, their functions, and how they are all connected.
