mouse dissection...

Mouse dissection todaaaaaaaay!

okay, first, you gotta kill the mousey. They are dumped into the box thingy, carbon dioxide pumped inside, suffocating the mousey. This is one of the saddest part, seeing the mousey breathing sooooo sooooo soooooo hard... then, slowly... motionless. =(


Double checked that the mousey are dead by breaking the neck... and all the snipping begins. Snip off the fur, snip off the peritoneal membrane... look for the spleen and cut if off. Yah, thats the main purpose for this dissection. TO GET MOUSE SPLEEN...
