Pluck Dissection

Synopsis
This film shows how to carry out a dissection of a sheep pluck, showing the relative positions of the trachea, lungs and heart. This dissection focuses on the function of the breathing system, and a description is provided in the teachers’ notes of how to inflate one of the lobes in the lungs via an incision made in the trachea.
This resource, funded by the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the Royal Society of Chemistry, was produced following National Science & Engineering Week 2013, during which teachers and technicians nominated their favourite demonstrations to be turned into video resources with accompanying written guides.
