Thanks to Sheede, today I’ve been watching a mouse embryo dissection. It is incredible to see the anatomy: heart, lungs, kidneys, intestine, mouth… Everything looked so small to me, but she has been able, through the help of the microscope, to detect and isolate the organs in a few seconds. She said is a matter of exercise (I think it is also a matter of skills… a bit like surgeons). Only after isolating the different parts, it was really possible for me recognizing them. Wish I had the chance to take some pictures to post here.And then comes another interesting topic, growing the single organs… hopefully, one day, I will see that too. Simply amazing.
