The value of using animals as specimens as part of the dissection is to learn and experience performing an autopsy. Through this dissection, we learn the value of animals and how they can not only teach us more about the autopsy process, but we can also learn more about the specimen itself both outside and inside of the animal.

The value of dissection is that it helps students learn about internal body systems.

Katelyn Sperry 250967

2509677_1 — 2025-01-06 14:07:10 UTC

The value of dissection is research; we can learn about how the body system works visually.

Alex Diaz 250565

2505656_1 — 2025-01-06 14:07:31 UTC

The concerns that are related to dissection are the concerns with cleanliness and transition of potential pathogens to the people who are participating in the dissection.

Lukas Stephens 250539

2025-01-06 14:07:44 UTC

Some people don't think it is ethical to dissect animals, and obviously for some people it can be weird.

When dissecting a specimen, each individual should make sure to wear all proper PPE and handle each tool with extra care so that the specimen and the people are not injured. Additionally, make sure to carry out clean and safe practices and make sure everyone else is comfortable with the dissection.

Emily Sternberg

2505744_1 — 2025-01-06 14:08:30 UTC

Dissections provide value when it comes to learning about anatomy, physiology, and investigations. Dissections give a better understanding of organ function and structure.

Jenna Laloo

2508733_1 — 2025-01-06 14:08:31 UTC

Dissection is valuable because it allows for us to study the internal parts of different living organisms. It helps us see and visualize how things in the body work.

Ibrahim

2508761_1 — 2025-01-06 14:08:33 UTC

Some concerns are ethics and morals, as some people view it an unethical. Some people regard dissection as disrespect to any living thing that has died and is now being cut open.

Isabella Grossman

2508725_1 — 2025-01-06 14:08:34 UTC

The value of dissection is to hands-on directly learn about organs because it's very different than just seeing a photo. You can better understand them this way

Camila Cinto 250882

Dissection is essential as it can help individuals learn more about the internal structure of living organisms. It can show how tissues and organs work together.

2503775_1 — 2025-01-06 14:09:04 UTC

Dissection helps students learn in a hands-on way that books and lectures cannot. By cutting open animal specimens, students can see and understand how different body systems (like the heart, lungs, and brain) work together. This direct experience makes the learning process more accurate and easier to grasp. Dissection also improves skills like observation, problem-solving, and understanding how biological structures function in a living organism.

Pam

2505603_1 — 2025-01-06 14:09:04 UTC

Some of the concerns related to dissection are that it has a negative influence on the environment as the way they confine the specimen is by using toxic chemicals aswell as many believe that this is an exploitation of the animals as most of these animals are killed at large for the students to research.

Hudson Grant

2503674_1 — 2025-01-06 14:09:04 UTC

Dissections allow for hands-on experience on the animal's anatomy, which can also be translated to human anatomy. This allows for a different learning experience compared to notes.

John Hughes 251012

2025-01-06 14:09:08 UTC

Dissections provide scientists an internal view of an animal or human's possible death. If a person died of a mysterious death, then a pathologist would perform an autopsy or dissect the body to confirm why the individual is dead.

Dissections become a concern when the subject of the dissection is an animal and it can be deemed immoral b/c of animal testing concerns

Katelyn Sperry

2509677_1 — 2025-01-06 14:09:14 UTC

The concerns related to dissection are ethical considerations towards animals; some may think dissecting animals is disrespecting them.

Angel A.

2503787_1 — 2025-01-06 14:09:18 UTC

2503828_3 — 2025-01-06 14:09:25 UTC

Some ethical concerns related to dissection is that it is bad for the environment, The chemicals used to preserve these animals are very stong and can be bad for humans. Also how the animal is killed to be put into the classroom is important, they shouldn't be harmed in the wild because we need tp study the, In class.

Lauren Finkle (250534)

2505346_3 — 2025-01-06 14:09:29 UTC

Dissection is important because it allows us the further understand the human body, causes of death, and how the body acts after death. It is important in cases of suspicious death so that we can identify signs of homicide (which we would have previously learned from other dissections). Overall, in terms of our upcoming lab, this hands on opportunity makes it easier to grasp an in-depth understanding and makes what we learn more memorable.

Amy Sandoval 251511

2025-01-06 14:09:44 UTC

The value of dissection is to learn about the human body systems and to explore the various organs in the body. In terms of using animal specimens the value of direction could be to compare organs and learn about their body parts and organs to then compare to the human specimens.

Vedansh

2508812_1 — 2025-01-06 14:09:45 UTC

You should be respectful and careful when you dissect an animal specimen. This is because you don't want to contaminate yourself with any diseases the animal had before death.

Isabella Grossman

2508725_1 — 2025-01-06 14:09:50 UTC

Some concerns are comfort in dissecting a previously living animal or morality regarding it having to die to be dissected in a classroom.

Michael

2503775_1 — 2025-01-06 14:09:55 UTC

There are several concerns about dissection. One is the ethical issue of using animals for education, especially when alternatives like virtual dissections are available. Some people worry about the treatment of animals and whether it's right to sacrifice them for learning. Environmental concerns also arise from sourcing animals, especially if they come from endangered species. Additionally, students may feel uncomfortable with dissection for personal, cultural, or religious reasons, and safety risks are involved, such as exposure to chemicals or injury from sharp tools.

2508761_1 — 2025-01-06 14:10:00 UTC

We should always be very respectful and cautious to not upset anyone and disrespect the organism we are dissecting. We should also always be clean and work in a well-mannered way so that the dissection runs smoothly.

Gayatri Rana

2505583_1 — 2025-01-06 14:10:06 UTC

Dissection raises ethical concerns about using animals and human remains. Some people think it’s wrong and may feel uncomfortable participating in one. Cleanliness is also a concern because bacteria can spread if tools and specimens are not properly cleaned.

Hudson Grant

2503674_1 — 2025-01-06 14:10:21 UTC

Some concerns are that it is not ethical to kill an animal just to dissect it. Some people see it as wasteful when you can learn about anatomy without dissecting anything.

Pam

2505603_1 — 2025-01-06 14:10:29 UTC

When dissecting a specimen, we should behave in a well-mannered way, we need to wear proper PPE, and we should not fool around when doing this autopsy; you should be careful when using the tools needed, and when done dissecting you need to make sure that everything is properly thrown away, and cleaned out.

Isabella Grossman

2508725_1 — 2025-01-06 14:10:59 UTC

You should try to be as clean as possible, for example by wearing gloves. You should also try not to destroy your specimen/ the organs because then you can't learn from it

dae ostonal 250343

2025-01-06 14:11:13 UTC

Make sure that your area is sanitized and you are working with proper PPE gear on. Make sure that any sharp materials are pointed away and never at other people. Be cautious with the animal insides to avoid contamination.

Concerns related to dissection may involve cleanup and ensuring that the body isn't tampered with prior to recording observations (especially in cases of suspicion). Also, although the dissection is performed on something dead, it's important to complete the task as professionally as possible to avoid "violating" or disrespecting it.

Lauren Finkle (250534)

2505346_3 — 2025-01-06 14:16:05 UTC

When dissecting the animal specimen we should be actively listening and waiting for directions before beginning. We should also prepare beforehand by reading the assignment/rubric/written directions. Also we shouldn't be playing with it or making a mess. We should clean up our spaces thoroughly post-dissection as well.
