Cow Eye Dissection!

This past Wednesday, Anatomy and Physiology students of Room 103 dissected cow eyeballs. This lab was designed to give the students a better structural understanding of the eye, and to also give them a feeling for the composition of those structures. Below are some pictures from the dissection...
