Sheep Eye Dissection

 This is a sheep eye. on the outside we have the cornea. eyelid, sclera, optic nerve, and some fatty tissue.

 After cutting the eye in half, we are now able to see the lens, vitreous humor, choroid, tapetum lucidum , retina, and cillary bodies. The lens and vitreous humor are used to help maintain the shape of the eye while the choroid is used to nourish the retina and vitreous humor. The blind spot is the concentrated collection that turns into the optic nerve. The tapetum lucidum helps reflect more light for better night vision.

 This is the cornea and pupil. The cornea protects the delicate portions of the eye while the pupil controls the amount of light that enters the eye.

Clay Brain

This is the left hemisphere along the Sagittal Plane and the Right Cerebral Hemisphere that we made out of play-dough. We looked up a lot of pictures to determine what the left hemisphere along the Sagittal Plane and the Right Cerebral Hemisphere to figure out where everything is.

Brains

IN the article "The Woman with a Hole in Her Brain" by Helen Thomson, it tells the unexpected discovery made by a Chinese doctor in one of their patients. The 24-year-old woman went her entire life without knowing that she was born without her cerebellum.Without that portion of her brain, she was expected to have terrible fine motor skills, epilepsy, movement disorders, and other problems, but she only has a slightly slurred pronunciation and very mild motor deficiency.

Here is the article

The midbrain controls walking, sleeping and other reflexes so without it affects those reflexes very much. There is a birth defect called hydranencephaly which is the absence of varying amounts of the cerebral hemispheres. It is possible to live and survive without the midbrain. According to this article, Trevor Waltrip lived for 12 years with only his brainstem.
