My students are amazing but have no real understanding of the human body or how the systems of the body work together. I want students to be able to have a memorable, hands-on experience to learn about the heart and body systems.

After the dissection, students will remember how the heart works with the respiratory system, the cardiovascular system, and other body systems to maintain life.
