The Parts of the Cardiovascular system
Module 3: Lab Exercise
An Examination of the Heart: From the Micro to the Macro Level - Using a Sheep's Heart
This is a Hands-On Labs exercise that explores the heart. Here you will view the cells in the heart, veins, and arteries at low, medium, and high magnification. You will trace the flow of blood through the heart. You will also complete a full dissection of a sheep heart (I will do this part at home and send it to you!).
Procedure:
Complete all three exercises in the Hands-On Labs experiment about the cardiovascular system by labeling images and filling in tables. ***You do not need to submit the Lab Report Assistant.***
Create a Report:
Use the following outline to describe the data from your lab in a report or presentation. Label each portion of the lab as described below.
Introduction:
Start with a broad discussion of the heart. Why is this topic of interest to you? What will you learn? Conclude the introduction with a statement about specific items the lab is exploring. What are you comparing and what are some differences you expect to see?
Material List:
Identify all items that you used and the exact quantities, as applicable.
Methods:
Describe how you conducted the experiment, including any safety precautions you took while performing the lab. Be sure to include any changes that you made to the original instructions. This should be a short, paraphrased version of the methods from the lab. Do not copy from the lab; Turnitin will highlight it as plagiarism.
Results/Data:
Insert all images and tables from the lab here, including a brief statement about each one.
Discussion:
Review what you observed. What differences did you notice as you explored the magnified tissues? How are veins and arteries different? What are some things you noticed about the sheep heart? Are there differences between the right and left sides? Why might this be? What other differences or interesting characteristics did you notice while performing this lab?
Conclusion:
End with a section describing what was particularly interesting to you; identify errors that may have impacted your results or note errors in the lab itself; and provide recommendations for future labs.
Requirements:
1) If you are doing the report, it should be 4-5 pages long, not including the title page.
2) Reference at least two journal articles.
3) Include a title page and a reference page at the end.
4) Follow the CSU-Global Guide to Writing and APA.
