Sheep Eye Disection

 In this picture, you can see the eyelid, cornea, sclera, and lots of fatty tissue!

 If you look closely, the optic nerve is visible

 The retina detached when we cut open the sclera but it is still slightly visible. The white ball is the lens and the black and blue fluid is the choroid.

 This is the vitreous humor and when we removed this, we saw the lens. The pupil was transparent and the iris was visible.

 lots of fatty tissue!

Clay Brain

In this lab, we made a clay model of the brain. We did the anterior of the right hemisphere of the brain and the inside of the left hemisphere. We used different colors and tabs to identify the different structures. 

The Woman with a hole in her brain

I found this article interesting because i have never heard of anything like this before. It is so fascinating that it took her 24 years to find out that she was missing part of her brain. To have your cerebellum missing and still going through life like normal is absolutely insane. The cerebellum plays such a large part in the way you move and talk that it is almost unbelievable to live without one. I learned that the brain is a very complex structure that can interest anyone very easily.
The corpus callosum is a bundle of nerve tissue that connects the left and right hemisphere. This allows different parts of the brain to communicate with each other. It is possible to survive without this tissue. As a matter of fact, some people are born with a defect that include a lack of this tissue. By disrupting the contact between the right and left hemispheres, a seizure can be isolated and caught from spreading.
