Fetal Pig? Baby Shark? Sheep Head? Cow’s Eye? Caught your interest yet? Still have no idea how any of these things are related? Well I mean if you ever decide to come to the Anatomy club you might just find out!

Maybe you might be able to guess from the name of the post, maybe from the items listed above, but yes, this club is a dissection club. Dedicated to learning the anatomy of the animals around you, and being able to implement it into the scientific facets of our own body is our one goal. 

Every two weeks or so, a group of us mainly seniors, (another reason why you should join not having to worry about not knowing anyone) get together to learn about the anatomy of a certain animal that we’re dissecting that day. Whether it be an eye, or a certain body part organ, or even a full animal itself, we delve into the deeper aspects about the specific area. We always walk into the dissection understanding more or learning more about a certain part of the body we hadn’t really understood before.

Now you might be

The Human Systems Together

saying, “Sivaayan that is completely disgusting and wrong and why would you do something like that I feel like that might be scarring and change the way you look at that animal for the worse!”. Sure, yah I can understand that maybe this topic isn’t for everyone. However, you have to understand that anatomy isn’t just cutting up body parts just for the pure “fun” of it. There’s always a point to dissection, and always something you can learn to apply in the real world.

Fetal Pig Anatomy

We have so many different types of systems at work within our body. Whether it be your regular old muscular or skeletal system, or the lesser known endocrine and such, they all intertwine to form the human body, and function together to make us work. Yet, how many of us know what any part of us look like on the inside exactly? How many of us know what the insides of our body do to work together? (Definitely not the majority) ((SHHHHHHH anyone in Anatomy currently))

But seriously, this club gave me extra opportunities to view animals that reflect the inner body, using their inner organs to function and allowed me to visualize how the different systems functioned together within my own body. As wonderfully put by medicalnewstoday, “The aim is to collect data about the larger structures of organs and organ systems.”. 

Over my time in the club, I have dissected a fetal pig, a cow’s eye, a squid, a bird, and am about to continue dissecting much m

uch more over the course of the semester, each giving me insight about how body parts function together. This club is perfect for both beginners in search of an extracurricular activity to get involved in, as well as having fun with peers whom are mainly seniors, and learning more about themselves through the study of anatomy.

This club continues to expand my knowledge of those around me, as well as how humans have grown to be accustomed to the environment, and what each body organ functions to do and how they have been created in certain ways to help us survive nature. A perfect club for both experts and beginners, I strongly suggest joining and making a richer community to learn and expand other people’s knowledge on the subject.
