Blog #10 (Dissecting)

Why is dissection an important part of a biology curriculum? Which animals and/or plants should be included in biological studies?


Dissection is defined as the process of disassembling and observing something to determine its internal structure and as an aid to discerning the functions and relationships of its components. I believe that dissections are vital to Biology because, we are allowed to see the inside of the organs, etc that we couldn't see with the normal MRI. By dissecting a dead animal you are able to examine the organs and see how the animal died, which can help use see if it had any disorders that led to the death
I believe that ANY animal should be included in Biological studies, even endangered species. I am not suggesting killing the animal, but after the animal is dead you should be allowed to be allowed to dissect the animal for studies. I believe this because Biology isn't limited to any one species, also because of the fact that animal facts are based on animal testing. All shampoos, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical drugs are all made possible and are ensured as safe for human use, by the testing of the animals.
