Sharks Get Nervous?
Summary
Today was the last part of the dissection. In this section of the lab, we broke open the skull and exposed the brain. The brain was not like one would expect, it was more long that round, as a human brain is. After opening up the skull to see the brain, we attempted to identify parts of the brain.
