TWIS #8

 We leaned how to dissect specimens in a harmful way. We learned how to label the specimens inside and outside body parts. To show what is what on the animal. We then, learned how to dissect the specimen in a proper way to make it less difficult. So we won't cut the wrong thing.



 We were split into groups and in each group were two specimens that we had to work on. We had a cricket and crayfish. In this photo, my team and I had labeled the specimens body part in Ventral and Dorsal view. The crayfish's "Cheliped", is located at Proximal as it's claw. It's Anterior is connected to its arm. Its Posterior is the size and unusual shape of the crayfish's claw. The crayfish's Environment is somewhere at the body of the sea. it crawls on the ocean floor where there's lots of fish and ocean plants for housing in. Its Feature is a lobster like animal but smaller.
