Danny Biro Cat Dissection
Thoracic Cavity Organs • Picture will be added when the students dissect their cat later this school year.
Abdominal Cavity Organs • Picture will be added when the students dissect their cat later this school year.
Brachial Veins and Arteries • Picture will be added when the students dissect their cat later this school year.
Abdominal Veins and Arteries • Picture will be added when the students dissect their cat later this school year.
Pelvic and Thigh Veins and Arteries • Picture will be added when the students dissect their cat later this school year.
Cat and Human Similarities • All of the major organs perform similar functions • E.g. the heart pumps the blood and the kidneys regulate water balance in both organisms • Both organisms have an aorta and vena cava veins • Both organisms have the same male and female reproductive structures • Both organisms have a diaphragm that is used for respiration, and is the barrier that separates the thoracic and abdominal cavities • Both organisms have the most of the same bones
Cat and Human Differences • The cat has three trapeziusmuscles while the human only has one trapezius • The humans hyoid bone and larynx are structured different compared to the cats, which allows humans to speak • Cats have claws while humans have nails • The papillae (bumps on the tongue) are longer and harder than a humans – this allows them to clean themselves • The structure of the gluteus muscles is different • Humans are larger for bipedal locomotion
Organ Physiology • Since this PowerPoint is available online, I have not included the descriptions of the organs. I do not want my students plagiarizing my work.
