Dissection 

7.12.B identify the main functions of the systems of the human organism, including the circulatory, respiratory, skeletal, muscular, digestive, excretory, reproductive, 
integumentary, nervous, and endocrine systems

What is dissection? -  open an organism in order to study its internal parts.

Why do we do dissections? - Dissection helps us learn how to cure diseases.

Why do we dissect animals? There are many similarities between the human anatomy and that of a frog or fetal pig.   Animals are used to discover the cure to many illnesses and diseases that found humans.
