I enjoyed the dissection aside from the smell when we turned the eye inside out we saw the tapetum lucidum and had to move the retina to be able to fully see it
Hi Travis,
ReplyDeleteYou have covered all of the points here, well done! The tapetum lucidum was really cool wasn't it. I'm glad you enjoyed the dissection, the eye is really interesting isn't it!
Next time it would be great if you could add more description to your statements, for example what did the tapetum lucidum look like?
