a trip to the vet museum in murdoch

one fine day long ago...well, about 2 months ago la, the beginning of semester 2. i was in Murdoch with Sue Ann and her new found friend, Wilford just to spend some time with the "freshies"...kekeke... We had lunch and then we went walking round the campus to help Sue Ann with her enrolment stuff. After that, I had some time between all the walking round settling Sue's enrolment stuff and something i had later in the evening i can't remember -- that's for leaving blogging about interesting events to much much later, you forget! -- Wilford then mentioned that he wanted to visit the vet museum. Me, blur as usual didn't know that Murdoch was ssssoooo interesting (having their own vet museum - unlike Curtin). We went and..............the following are a few pictures:-

It's a rat -- quite obviously -- the muscles and skin of the abdominal (stomach) and thoracic (chest) region is cut out to reveal whatever that's on the inside (DUH!)

It's a horse head!!!! -- sectioned to make a series of sections. The purpose of doing that is not to satisfy the psychotic urge of some people to chop an animal for some weird, psychotic scientific experiment but so that vet students can have a real life inside view of a horses head.


Now, as for this 9 series thing (hmm...scientist like serial things eh?), it depicts the growth of a lil feotus of some animal...my sister said cat, i said puppy...

They seem to like the horse. Well, this is a quater of a horse head...or was it half...can't remember. sorry people! Anway, this quater/half of a horse head is as complete as it can be ie. skin still intact, tissue, blood vessels and what-not all still intact. Let me just point out one more thing...look at how big the nostrils are, man! *snigger*

OOPS!!! This duck isn't suppose to be in here!!! Got this off from a friend who sent an MMS to me...but ain't this duck handsome/pretty??? HAHAHAHAHA

Okies......that's all for now. All these photos were in my phone. so, now only uploaded everything into my computer and blogging about it. will be putting up the rest may be tomorrow...i am afterall more free (NOT totally free...just MORE free)

p.s.: Curtin has a really nice Human anotomy collection thingy...something like this vet museum just that it's human body parts! Too bad we're not allowed to take in phones -- which have cameras -- to respect the privacy of the people who donated their bodies to science.
