biology experiment

well well well, mother's day is over and mid-term exam is coming...sigh..exam sucks u know!! stress, stress and more stress...that's all it gives actually...

finally today is our class' turn to disect the frog for bio...kekeke...actually it was supposed to be last friday...but Viknesh bought the wrong frogs...haha...way too small =P 3 for 1 buck, what can u expect right? haha i think the overall height of the frog was about 2 inches? lol

i think no matter how small or big the frog is, also can disect wan lo...haha...you just have to be a lil more gentle =P just like us hahaha! i was one of the so-called 'pakar bedah'...some title teacher gave to us....so i got to REALLY disect it...tee hehehe...even though the frog is tiny, but we managed to see all it's organs...including the eggs...and the tiny lil heart pumping there is so cute... if i'm not mistaken its only about 5mm in diameter..cute right??

well, of course a tiny lil frog can never satisfy us ( our class)... so today, wai hou came with 3 bigger frogs that he got from Pudu Market..haha! and u know....it's TOTALLY different from the disection we had on friday... first of all the frog is SOO MUCH BIGGER...and slimy too...our group got the fattest one....while bhakti got the thinner one...tee hehe=P and poor kiavin got the dead one! it was dead before we get to dozed it off in chloroform...lol so we started cutting a lil of its skin with the scissors..then we nailed the skin and started to cut the muscles instead...we tried to be very careful not to cut the organs...for things will get really messy and ugly if you accidentally cut the organs instead ( like the mistake wai tseung from 4c did )

but...while we were working our way to it, the frog suddenly gain its consciousness...it started to struggle a lil and we can see that the heart and muscles are pumping very fast... so we decided to stop disecting it for a while, and added more chloroform, hoping it will sleep again...it will be darn cruel to just cut it out alive like that! especially when it is conscious....

a few minutes passed...it had stopped moving...so we thought well, finally it dozed off...so we could carried on our work....but...lol...while we disecting half-way the frog suddenly move again...and very vigorously this time...all of us we were like so freak out so we backed off...haha no one dared to go near that frog =P then soon enough we can see the frog struggling very hard.... with all its might to free itself from the pins around him....i was so worried and scared that those tiny small pins might not be strong enough to sustain the frog on the board....what if it jumped out? it will another headache for us to catch it back...espeacially with its stomach open! haha...sigh sigh.. finally, the frog struggled so hard till we can see her lungs and heart like gonna explode like that..and well finally, i think the lungs gave way...it expanded sooo big and air bubbles red in color came out from it....hmm... pretty scary huh?

haha after the scare....after the expansion of air bubbles and all...no one dared to move...the frog stopped moving...therefore we carry on our disection =P haha i have to admit this particular frog of ours really had a strong will to live...or to fight back at least... pretty much a warrior huh? =P haha and by the way, its a female...there were eggs on its side....haha....and i managed to see its pancreas!!! yellow in color, leaf-shaped one!! lol...

i think in the end all of us were so sadistic...lol or you can say we're cruel la =P by the end of the class, there were only 6 of us left ... byran viknesh me in our group and waihou bhakti kiavin in the other group...haha practically we cut out the organs one by one...because this time the size is way much bigger...so in a way....well, itz more interesting? lol all the intestines..the over-expanded lungs...the 3 livers...its eggs....even the heart...all were cleared out...well its normal la if the heart is still pumping even though it had left its body...but the body still can move without the heart!! haha scared us again...what a frog =P

actually all of us were searching for the brain =P we couldnt find any last friday...so we're kinda determined to find it TODAY haha...we tried slicing right up to the tip of the frog's nose...well...we saw the tongue...the eyeballs...but no brain...bhakti's group even cut off its spinal cord, turn the frog's head 180 degrees to double check!! haha those guys!! lol...we also discovered its nerve system...i could actually see nerves that are string-like in pale-yellow...and when you pull or cut it, the frog's leg will eventually move!! ahhha fascinating, but scary too =P

well overall...the experiment was a success...although it was pretty much gross this time....well it was really an eye opener to me...but poor carolyn she was so taken by how the frog suffered and died...she cried on friday, she cried today..hehe i guess she is very very much soft-hearted... =) if so, does this mean that i'm cruel and sadistic? hmm....

wanna blame, blame the ineffective chloroform~!! *bleaks* haha
