Pig Dissection: Human Anatomy and Physiology

On Thursday, the Human Anatomy and Physiology class went with Mr. VandeGlind to Bethel University to dissect baby pigs. Pigs are the animal of choice because they have a similar organ structure to humans, so the class went digging through their little piglet bodies to find all of the vital organs of the body from the intestines to the heart to the pancreas. Some were not so sure about the experience after seeing the then-intact pigs, but once the process was underway, the dissection went smoothly. This experience gave the Human Anatomy class another glimpse of just how intricately God has constructed the body.
