Making a Complete Set of Tissue Samples

Making a Complete Set of Tissue Samples

My original complete set was made from a frozen fish. As it
thawed, different organs were cut away and small pieces placed
in bottles for preserving in filtered water and grain alcohol. In
this way, organs not available from the grocery store could be
obtained. The piece of intestine closest to the anus corresponds
to our colon, the part closest to the stomach corresponds to our
duodenum. The 2 layers of the stomach and different layers of the
eye, the optic nerve and spinal cord were obtained this way.
Another complete set of tissue samples were obtained from a
freshly killed steer at a slaughter house. In this way the 4
chambers of the heart were obtained, the lung, trachea, aorta,
vein, pancreas, and so forth.
