Heart Dissection

Hello, in science we have been learning about what's in the heart and how it works. The right side of the heart receives oxygen from your veins and pumps it to your lungs where it picks up the oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. Then the left side receives the oxygen from the lungs and pumps it through the arteries to the rest of your body, this makes the left side of the heart a lot thicker than the right because it has more work to do. The reason we dissected the heart so we could see what the heart looks like in real life instead of a drawing. When we were dissecting the heart we weren't able to see the atrium because when the pig was butchered the atrium was cut off.
