What Are Dissections?

Dissection is the act of cutting open dead organisms to study their parts. Dissections allow us to see the working parts of the body. They can help us understand the structure of our organs and how they relate to their function.

However, for any dissection you’re going to need some tools. Some of them are as follows:

• Scalpel: Scalpels are small razor blades attached to a metal or plastic handle. They are useful when you need to make an incision into a sealed part of the body, for example the initial cut into the skin of the rat.
• Scissors: After there is an initial incision, you can use dissection scissors to cut open the muscle and expose the internal organs. Scissors are also helpful when removing internal organs. In small animals, such as a rat, scissors can also be used to cut open bone.
• Forceps: While cutting with the scalpel and scissors, you’re going to want to grab small pieces of tissue or organs. Forceps are like larger tweezers and can be used as a set of hands during the dissection. Forceps can be used to pull back tissue, remove organs and hold parts of the body in place.
• Needle: A needle is a fine-pointed tool that can be used to hold the specimen in place as you dissect and study the internal structures. With a sharp point, it can also be used to tease apart tissue and pull back organs. The needle can double as a pointer when trying to point out structures to your classmates or colleagues.
