What is inside a cell nucleus?

The nucleus is an organelle found in eukaryotic cells. Inside its fully enclosed nuclear membrane, it contains the majority of the cell’s genetic material. This material is organized as DNA molecules, along with a variety of proteins, to form chromosomes.

Why is gallbladder absent in rats?

The concentrating power of bile in rat’s liver is high, so the main function of bile concentration by gallbladder is unnecessay in them. Rats frequently take their food so they require a continuous supply of bile. This eliminates the necessity of bile storage. Harbivore animals relatively lack fat in their food.

What is the scientific name of the rat you are dissecting?

What is the scientific name of the rat that we dissected? Rattus Norvegicus.

Why are cells important to life?

Cells are the basic building blocks of all living things. The human body is composed of trillions of cells. They provide structure for the body, take in nutrients from food, convert those nutrients into energy, and carry out specialized functions.

What is the purpose of rat dissection?

A rat dissection is conducted to explore the internal structure and function of basic mammalian anatomy. The purpose of this exercise is to explore the alimentary canal of the rat and observe the different parts of the digestive system.

What is the strongest organ in the human body?

The heart has the ability to beat over 3 billion times in a person’s life. The strongest muscle based on its weight is the masseter. With all muscles of the jaw working together it can close the teeth with a force as great as 55 pounds (25 kilograms) on the incisors or 200 pounds (90.7 kilograms) on the molars.

How human body is formed?

The human body is organized at different levels, starting with the cell. Cells are organized into tissues, and tissues form organs. Organs are organized into organ systems such as the skeletal and muscular systems.

• The largest external organ, which is also the largest organ in general, is the skin.

What is rat dissection?

Introduction: In this lab, you will be examining many characteristics of a rat’s anatomy. Dissections help researchers get a 3-dimensional picture of how the systems of a body work together. Now you’ll have the opportunity to see how the respiratory, digestive and circulatory system are arranged spatially.

Why is the liver the largest organ?

The liver is the largest solid organ and the largest gland in the human body. It carries out over 500 essential tasks. Classed as part of the digestive system, the roles of the liver include detoxification, protein synthesis, and the production of chemicals that help digest food.

What are 5 rules for safe dissection?

Wear goggles, apron, and latex or nitrile gloves when dissecting.

• Specimens are soaked in a formalin solution that contains a very small percentage of formaldehyde.
• Never ingest specimen parts or remove them from the classroom.
• Sharp instruments, such as scissors and scalpels, will be used to cut tissue.
