Holy aorta, batman!

I just dissected a large sheep's heart. Can you say....awesome??!? It was amazing to look at just how much muscle amasses the organ. Most of the fatty tissue was surrounding the arteries up at the top

Holy Cow! How and Why did you get to do this?

[akshajati]

Oh, I did this in Biology class. We are studying the heart right now, thus dissecting ensued. :)

I knew there was a reason I'm in chemistry.....

You has heart murmur? What does it say?

I've got this weird thing where sometimes my valves get out of whack, so they are pumping alternating... it makes it feel like my heart is going at like, 190 bpm. I have to hold my breath to make it stop... it's really strange, but the doctor said it's nothing dangerous. Just malfunctioning electronics in the ol' ticker.

that is odd...you have fiesty valves!

i haven't been able to translate yet what exactly my heart is murmuring, but hopefully it isn't too important. :P
