Heart Dissection

Heart Dissection

- First Step: 
          

Remove the gloves and the scalpel of the bags or boxes. This step will do Carla.Then, we put our gloves.

- Second Step:
           

We have to remove the heart from the bag.This step will do Aránzazu.

- Third Step:
Put it on the table and indicate with colored pencils: vena cava, pulmonary vein, aorta and pulmonary artery.
  To find the aorta you have to find the pulmonary vein because the aorta should be situated a little bit behind it. Next you put the red pencil (aorta) and the blue pencil (pulmonary vein). This step will do Carla.   The two main veins can be found on the backside and come in left and right atria. Then you put the green pencil (vena cava) and the yellow pencil (pulmonary artery). This step will do Aránzazu.

- Fourth Step:

Use the superior vena cava and pulmonary vein as guides for where to cut. This step will do Carla.

- Fifth Step:
When the heart is open, you can see the inner chambers.

Aránzazu records (When we cut the heart) and Carla takes the photos of ALL.
