"Do you have your books yet? It has some very good pictures of anatomy. I have been studying ahead so I can concentrate on the dissection lab. I'll show you what I mean." Mariah spoke confidently.<br/>"But first you need a lab coat to protect your outer clothing. There is one in the closet."<br/><br/>Mariah opened to the first chapter of the lab work book. She had the pictures already colored in with her pencils.<br/>By now a pan with a brown piglet had arrived to her table. She pulled on the vynal gloves and was lifting the piglet up to examine it's body for it's condition.<br/>"In our lab books we must note the condition of the piglet, like with any kind of cuts from like barbed wire, hooves, tusks or the opening of the mother pig when she was killed. As far as I can see, ours is a little older than the stillborn pigs. Let's get it's weight and other measurements." Mariah naturally took charge since she was used to being her own lab partner and working alone.<br/><br/>Once she got the weight and started to measure the pig, she started to hum a bit softly as she worked. After all of her prelimery things done she took off her gloves to get out her new set of dissecting tools.<br/>She carefully took out her scalpel and began to scrape off some hair for the first slide. She was very meticulous in her methods. After she had enough bristles, she cleaned her scalpel well. She then placed it on a cloth next to her so she could finish preparing the slide.<br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/TheCreator7/00-1%20Library/Real%20Life%20Classes/Analysesofhairfolliclemorphology.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/TheCreator7/00-1%20Library/Real%20Life%20Classes/Analysesofhairfolliclemorphology-2.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/><a class="postlink" href="http://i1088.photobucket.com/albums/i325/TheCreator7/00-1%20Library/Real%20Life%20Classes/Analysesofhairfolliclemorphology-3.jpg">[ img ]</a><br/><br/>Mariah set had already set up the microscope so it was not hard to slide the sample under the scope. She picked up the pick to tap out the air bubbles for a  clearer picture.<br/><br/>"Ever so neat....." she spoke to herself.
