Abstract
The purpose of this study is to investigate the four chambers of the
mammalian heart in person. A pig was chosen as the representative
organism for this activity because of its similarity to the human heart in
terms of morphology and physiology, and with this similarity, the description
of the blood circulation is attained. The dissection its heart was done with a
scalpel. It was first sliced through its sagittal region and it was sliced further
through its anterior and posterior regions. The four (4) chambers of the heart
were exposed.
