The first tentative touch - eeewww
Finding the aorta - the opening goes all the way to the bottom of the left ventricle.
Where do we cut?
Apparently, sixth graders are not trustworthy with scalpels, but they're allowed dull scissors to cut their hearts with.
The left ventricle, bicuspid (mitral) valve and the left atrium.
Those stringy-things? Yeah, those are your chordae tendonae - your heartstrings - so next time something tugs on your heartstrings, you know what they look like.
(Sorry, sometimes my science nerd comes out.)

Though I'm still wondering what kind of animal a "sheet" is? hee hee
And thank you very much for taking me right back to Freshman Biology. Glad you are better at that stuff than me!
Hey Diva does it speak of some *serious* oddities in my make up if I can read this post, check it out thoroughly, all the while eating brown rice with slow simmered beef tips and a thick brown gravy over it?
;) You're a cool Aunt. Autobot is a lucky (and cute) kid!
That took a lot of heart to do that!!!!
Betcha that the sheet doesn't have the heart to do it again....*snicker*
just saying....
I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it, I don't like it.
You ARE the cool aunt and your niece is a badass.
I would've dry heaved my way to the playground.
