Aiyo.. wont post the internal organs on la.. just the process of dissecting it.. U know the before and after.. before all intact lying there motionless..after.. oh thats gross.. in fact its the second time I dissected a mouse.. n by the way I cannot sew it up cos.. basically the organs were in a mess and the mouse was dead to begin with.. However I m not guilty of killing it.. cos it was done both intravenously n subcutaneously by our demostrator..KEY POINT TO NOTE: WHEN I GOT IT..IT IS ALREADY DEAD.. N i have to dissect it.. otherwise that would be zero for that prac.. but in that process.. I took a lot of pictures.. u will see them real soon.. oh ya..forgot to mention ..my lab partner was amanda.. haha.. our sweet little gal..who dissected the mouse with me!!!!
