Sheep Heart Dissection
Mammals have four-chambered hearts and double circulation (pulmonary & systemic). The left side of the heart carries oxygenated blood, and the right side of the heart receives and pumps only deoxygenated blood.
Using a sheep heart, you will observe the major chambers, valves and vessels of the heart and be able to describe the circulation of blood through the heart to the lungs (pulmonary circulation) and back out to the rest of the body (systemic circulation).
