The aim of the dissection was for students to become familiar with the internal organs of a fish, primarily the swim bladder. This site has been put together to assist students and teachers with similar dissections. Many of the organs that are encountered during a typical fish dissection are named and discussed.

Dissection Choice Introduction New! Kevin Nealon from Saturday Night Live gives the latest celebrity support for DissectionChoice.org! When Michelle Rodrigues enrolled in a 100-level Biology course at the University of Illinois, no one told her the course's vivisection requirement would make her choose which was more importanther grades or her ethics. Rodrigues, whose religious beliefs forbid harming animals unnecessarily, could not participate in the demonstrations conducted on live rats and frogs. Her lab coordinator offered her no alternative, and as a penalty for her refusal to participate, her final grade was dropped a letter. This is a violation of students’ rights that has hurt Michelle and many students like her across campus. Conscientious objectors to classroom dissection and vivisection are protected under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment from being forced to harm or kill animals in their public university education. The courts agree, and for over a decade, students at all levelsfrom high school through college and even veterinary schoolhave won the right to alternatives. Students Improving the Lives of Animals ( SILA ), the campus animal advocacy group, wants the University to protect students' rights with a

Dissection Fact Sheet Importance of dissection Many educators strongly feel that there is no substitute for the hands-on, learning experience of dissection. Susan Offner, a former Outstanding Biology Teacher Award recipient, writes, "The learning that occurs in a dissection is qualitatively different from the learning that occurs in a lecture or paper-and-pencil setting. No model, no video, no diagram and no movie can duplicate the fascination, the sense of discovery, wonder and even awe that students feel when they find real structures in their own specimens" (147). The National Association of Biology Teachers states, "The NABT acknowledges that no alternative can substitute for the actual experience of dissection or other use of animals and urges teachers to be aware of the limitations of alternatives." Furthermore, "Classroom experiences that involve nonhuman animals range from observation to dissection. NABT supports these experiences so long as they are conducted within the long established guidelines of proper care and use of animals, as developed by the scientific and educational community." Other reasons to dissect Dissection is also important because it: Helps students learn about the internal structures of animals.

Micscape Article: Earthworm Dissection by Mike Morgan 1996 Introduction Dissection of the earthworm involves fine dissection and requires steadiness of hand and precision. For a general dissection, the worm is immersed in 50% alcohol when, after 10 -15 minutes it will die in an extended condition with muscles relaxed, enabling an easier dissection to be performed. For the preparation of the contents of the seminal vesicles, the worm should be killed with chloroform and the specimen should not be covered with water. Dissection of the worm is performed in a wax-bottomed dish and small pins are used to display the dissection. Technique Using a needle, the nerve ring can be loosened from the pharynx, which is then pulled through the ring and cut off. The pharynx should go back through the nerve ring. The nerve cord (shown in the figure on the right) is then cut off, about one inch behind the nerve ring, and removed. Both the ovary and nerve cord can be stained with borax carmine and mounted in Canada Balsam. A preparation of the seminal vesicles is made by cutting them off and teasing them in a watch glass, with physiological saline. A small drop of the milky fluid is placed on a cover slip and dried in warm air (e.g.. above a spirit-lamp). The smear is fixed in absolute alcohol, dried and stained in Ehrlich's haematoxylin, before mounting in Canada balsam.

About Us Field Projects How You Can Help Publications ... Problems with Dissection Problems with Dissection Ethical: Animals suffer during capture, handling, transport, and killing for dissection. Recent documented examples include: Cats purchased on streets in Mexico, killed by drowning or having their throats slit, then shipped to the U.S. for distribution. Live frogs piled into cloth bags for days or weeks; bullfrogs dying and rotting in transport containers. Warehoused turtles crowded into filthy holding tanks; bacterial infections rampant; many die. Rats making squirming movements while being embalmed (some experts believe these movements are due to the effects of formaldehyde hitting the muscle tissues of freshly killed animals, in which case they would not be suffering). Cats prodded roughly into crowded gas chambers Social: Educational curricula should foster environmental stewardship and compassion for life; dissection encourages neither; animal life is devalued and treated as expendable. Dissection alienates many compassionate students from life science; as a result, many bright students choose careers in other fields. Pedagogical: Many published articles attest to the fact that students using humane alternatives learn equally well or better than students dissecting/vivisecting animals.

Waiting for Results Current research, online events, and more Make a Donation Sentinel Lymph Node Dissection One of the most talked about new surgical techniques in breast cancer is sentinel lymph node dissection. This is an alternative to standard axillary lymph node dissection , and many women believe that it can spare them more invasive surgery and side effects. However, the sentinel node procedure is not appropriate for everyone. It has its own limitations and drawbacks, and must be done by a surgeon who has significant experience with the technique. The dictionary defines "sentinel" as a guard, watchdog, or protector. Likewise, the sentinal node is the first node "standing guard" for your breast. In sentinel node dissection, the surgeon looks for the very first lymph node that filters fluid draining away from the area of the breast that contained the breast cancer. If cancer cells are breaking away from the tumor and traveling away from your breast via the lymph system, the sentinel node is more likely than other lymph nodes to contain cancer.

Level III is above the pectoralis major muscle. enlarge image Lymph node areas adjacent to breast area A pectoralis major muscle B axillary lymph nodes: levels I C axillary lymph nodes: levels II D axillary lymph nodes: levels III E supraclavicular lymph nodes F internal mammary lymph nodes A traditional axillary lymph node dissection usually removes nodes in levels I and II. For women with invasive breast cancer, this procedure accompanies a mastectomy. It may be done at the same time as, or after, a lumpectomy (through a separate incision). Based on the doctor's physical exam and other indicators about the likelihood that cancer has spread to your lymph nodes, the surgeon will generally remove between five and thirty nodes during a traditional axillary dissection. The total number of lymph nodes "involved" (showing evidence of cancer) is more important than the extent of cancer in any one node.

Brief History of Dissection What animals are dissected? Who dissects specimens? ... Why do students object to dissection? What is Dissection? Dissection is the observing or cutting into a dead animal for the purposes of learning anatomy or physiology. Back to top Brief History of Dissection It is unclear when dissection itself started, but sources report as early as the late 1800s dissection was common in US colleges. In the 1960s, the Biological Science Curriculum Study, under the direction of the National Science Foundation, resolved to institute the hands-on study of animals in education. Dissection quickly became the mainstay of biology education. It wasn't until the 1980s that dissection was formally challenged. In 1987 Jennifer Graham, a high school student, sued her school for not allowing her an alternative to traditional dissection. Nine months later California became the first state to protect a student's right to conscientious objection. (From
