Description
Sheep hearts are popular dissection specimens for studying mammalian heart anatomy. These specimens, while only slightly smaller, are anatomically and functionally like human hearts. They are also easy to handle and dissect because of their size. During the dissection, students can identify and trace blood flow through the atria, ventricles, and blood vessels expanding their knowledge of the cardiovascular system.
Length of blood vessels will vary.

Carosafe®
Carosafe® preservative and holding solution for biological specimens contains no formaldehyde and is not a tissue fixative. Most Carosafe® specimens were first preserved with a formalin solution and then washed before placement in Carosafe®. Specimens are held in Carosafe® prior to shipment, producing formalin-preserved specimens that, when dissected, minimize formaldehyde exposure.
