    The students dissected two cow eyeballs to learn the anatomy of the eye and the proper procedures. They weighed and measured the eyes before beginning the dissection. Their hypothesis was that the first eye would be hardest to dissect since it was their first time. Following steps that included removing fat, cutting the cornea to drain fluid, and peeling out structures like the iris, lens, and optic nerve, they were able to identify all the parts of the eye. The results were learning all the terms for eye structures and gaining familiarity with the makeup of the eye.

    Lab Report
    Dissection of cows Eyeball
    Purpose or question:
    The purpose of this lab was to get us familiar with the eye and all its
    makeup. We also learned the terms of the eye and how to properly make
    incisions.

    Background information:

    The cows eye was preserved. We were given two different eyes to dissect,
    the first one weighing 54.8 grams and measuring 7.5 centimeters long and
    5 centimeters wide, while the second one weighed 48.2 grams, 7.2
    centimeters long, and 5 centimeters wide.

    Hypothesis:

    We concluded that the first eyeball would be the hardest to dissect because
    it was our first time doing it. We believed that once we cut into the eye, we
    would be splattered with aqueous humor.

    Materials:

    Scalpel- for making incisions and cutting


    Scale- for weighing the eyes
    Ruler- for measuring the eyes
    Tweezers- for holding back folds and pulling out items

    Procedures: To correctly dissect both eyeballs we had to do the


    following:
    Step 1: Gather all materials together, put on gloves, apron, and goggles,
    then receive the eyeball from the instructor.

    Step 2: Weigh, measure, and take a picture of the eyeball before we


    began dissecting.

    Step 3: After the picture is taken, lay the eyeball down and use the
    scalpel to gently remove the fat tissue from the eye, careful not to cut off
    the optic nerve.

    Step 4: The optic nerve is showing. There is no more fat tissue. Cut into
    the cornea and watch the aqueous humor leak out. Get picture of
    aqueous humor.

    Step 5: Cut around the cornea. You should now have two halves of the
    eyeball.

    Step 6: Remove the iris by gently peeling it, carefully using the scalpel,
    or using tweezers. Lay it flat and take a picture of the removed iris,
    exposing the zonular fibers.

    Step 7: Clear the fluid from the lens, the vitreous humor, and take a
    picture of both.

    Step 8: Remove the tapetum and take a picture of it.

    Step 9: Grab the half of the eye where the optic nerve is and make a cut
    that bisects the eye and the optic nerve.

    Step 10: Fully slice the cut and take a picture.

    Step 11: Repeat steps 2-10 for the other eye.

    Results:

    We learned about the nerves in the eye and everything that contributes
    to the whole makeup of the eye. We learned new terms, the aqueous
    humor, the blind spot, the ciliary body, rods and cones, the fovea
    centralis, iris, lens, optic nerve, retina, sclera, tapetum, vitreous humor,
    and the suspensory ligaments, as well as where they are located. At the
    end of the lab, all of these were taken out of the eye and we were left
    with a hard shell.
