Series: Dissections for the Science Classroom
Bovine Eye
Forming part of the nervous system, the eyes are complex organs responsible for receiving light from the environment and conveying this information through nerve signals to the brain. This dissection of a cow’s eye shows the optic nerve,...Show More
Forming part of the nervous system, the eyes are complex organs responsible for receiving light from the environment and conveying this information through nerve signals to the brain. This dissection of a cow’s eye shows the optic nerve, cornea, pupil, iris and retina, and explains the process of how the eye communicates with the brain to achieve sight. Complemented by clear, illustrative diagrams, this is a valuable resource for secondary students of science. Show Less
Cane Toad
Looking at the respiratory, digestive and reproductive organs as well as some bone and muscle groups, this comprehensive dissection of a cane toad reveals some of the unique features of amphibians. Complemented by clear, illustrative diagrams,...Show More
Looking at the respiratory, digestive and reproductive organs as well as some bone and muscle groups, this comprehensive dissection of a cane toad reveals some of the unique features of amphibians. Complemented by clear, illustrative diagrams, this is a valuable resource for secondary students of science alongside or in place of a hands-on dissection. Show Less
Crayfish
The Redclaw Crayfish, found in northern Australia and Papua New Guinea, is a decapod (ten-legged) crustacean. This dissection covers the main bodily systems of the Redclaw, including the reproductive, nervous, circulatory and digestive systems,...Show More
The Redclaw Crayfish, found in northern Australia and Papua New Guinea, is a decapod (ten-legged) crustacean. This dissection covers the main bodily systems of the Redclaw, including the reproductive, nervous, circulatory and digestive systems, with a focus on the features that are particular to certain crustaceans, such as its unique gastric mill that assists digestion. Complemented by clear, illustrative diagrams, this is a valuable resource for secondary students of science. Show Less
Female Reproductive Tract: Bovine
This dissection of a bovine female reproductive tract explores the physical structure of the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus and ovaries, describing the process of reproduction from hormonal triggers, to ovulation, to the path of sperm as...Show More
This dissection of a bovine female reproductive tract explores the physical structure of the vulva, vagina, cervix, uterus and ovaries, describing the process of reproduction from hormonal triggers, to ovulation, to the path of sperm as fertilisation occurs. Complemented by clear, illustrative diagrams, this is a valuable resource for secondary students of science. Show Less
Fish
Osteichthyes, or bony fish, make up approximately 95 per cent of all fish species. This dissection of an Australian Mullet reveals the specialised internal and external features that make life underwater possible, including its fins, gills,...Show More
Osteichthyes, or bony fish, make up approximately 95 per cent of all fish species. This dissection of an Australian Mullet reveals the specialised internal and external features that make life underwater possible, including its fins, gills, scales and swim bladder, as well as the many organs that bony fish share with mammals, such as those of the digestive system. Complemented by clear, illustrative diagrams, this is a valuable resource for secondary students of science. Show Less
Male Reproductive Tract: Bovine
This dissection of a bovine male reproductive tract explores the physical structure of the penis, scrotum and testes, and the various muscles and tissues that allow the organs to move, extend and retract during mating. The video describes the...Show More
This dissection of a bovine male reproductive tract explores the physical structure of the penis, scrotum and testes, and the various muscles and tissues that allow the organs to move, extend and retract during mating. The video describes the process of sperm production and the path it travels to eventual ejaculation. Complemented by clear, illustrative diagrams, this is a valuable resource for secondary students of science. Show Less
Male Reproductive Tract: Porcine Testis
This dissection looks at the external and internal features of the testis of a male pig, describing how the testis and its two main types of cells – germ cells and Leydig cells – function in sperm and hormone production. Complemented by...Show More
This dissection looks at the external and internal features of the testis of a male pig, describing how the testis and its two main types of cells – germ cells and Leydig cells – function in sperm and hormone production. Complemented by clear, illustrative diagrams, this is a valuable resource for secondary students of science. Show Less
Ovine Brain
Acting as the body’s control centre, the brain is responsible for all the essential functions of the body. This dissection of a sheep’s brain, complemented by clear, illustrative diagrams, looks at the brain’s two hemispheres and their four...Show More
Acting as the body’s control centre, the brain is responsible for all the essential functions of the body. This dissection of a sheep’s brain, complemented by clear, illustrative diagrams, looks at the brain’s two hemispheres and their four distinct lobes, explaining the unique features and functions of each. This video is informative viewing alongside or in place of a hands-on dissection. Show Less
Ovine Heart
The central component of the circulatory system, the heart plays a vital role in moving nutrients and waste around the body. This dissection of a sheep’s heart shows the structure of the organ, including its chambers, veins, arteries and...Show More
The central component of the circulatory system, the heart plays a vital role in moving nutrients and waste around the body. This dissection of a sheep’s heart shows the structure of the organ, including its chambers, veins, arteries and passages, and explains the role it has in ensuring blood flow around the body. Complemented by clear, illustrative diagrams, this is a valuable resource for secondary students of science. Show Less
Porcine (Piglet) Internal Organs
A comprehensive exploration of the internal organs, this dissection of a piglet that did not survive the birthing process studies the full animal from top to tail. Describing the physical mechanics of dissecting a whole animal as well as the...Show More
A comprehensive exploration of the internal organs, this dissection of a piglet that did not survive the birthing process studies the full animal from top to tail. Describing the physical mechanics of dissecting a whole animal as well as the notable features of each organ, the video is a comprehensive and practical guide. Complemented by clear, illustrative diagrams, this is a valuable resource for secondary students of science. Show Less
Porcine Kidney
The kidneys play a vital role in the body by filtering blood, removing wastes and producing urine. This dissection of a pig’s kidney shows the structure of the kidney, including the renal artery and vein, the renal pelvis, cortex and medulla,...Show More
The kidneys play a vital role in the body by filtering blood, removing wastes and producing urine. This dissection of a pig’s kidney shows the structure of the kidney, including the renal artery and vein, the renal pelvis, cortex and medulla, nephrons and renal pyramids, and explains its function as part of the urinary system. Complemented by clear, illustrative diagrams, this is a valuable resource for secondary students of science. Show Less
Squid
