RELATE & REVIEW

The Brain dissection was easy to perform because the cuts where simple and the instructions were very clear. At the first when I saw the specimen it looked like a piece of flesh, beige in color with ridges and depressions. I could clearly identify and see the cerebrum because is a major part, below it was the cerebellum that was also clear, the posterior end was the brainstem.
Inside the brain upon cutting the flesh looked clear and clean.
I learned that the biggest part of the brain is the Cerebrum which is so important in higher brain functions like thought and action.
