Compare and Contrast between the kidney of a human and a sheep.
Right off the bat, Austin and I saw that the sheep kidney was rather…bland. It didn’t have any other striking features other than the ureter, renal pyramid, and the rest of the grey (gray?) solid. When we really sat down and compared it to the book’s diagram of the human kidney, we saw that the sheep kidney also had the major calyx, renal medulla, and renal pelvis. I couldn’t even see the minor calyx well and I probably never saw it at all. There’s not much else to say about what was there but there’s plenty of what wasn’t there. Like mentioned earlier, I didn’t see a minor calyx and I did not see a defined renal column. In the book, it had a shell shape (or I don’t know; I guess the shape plus the lines made me think of a shell) but, in the sheep’s kidney all I saw was grey and a darker mark. There’s nothing wrong with keeping things simple though. Also, I didn’t see any veins or arteries. And the diagram shows that the veins and arteries are involved with filtering, correct? So…I wonder how sheep filter their stuff or maybe they don’t need to. I don’t know I’m not a sheep person (I like alpacas though.) Oh! What the sheep had that the diagram didn’t was a larger ureter? Well, I guess we weren’t supposed to focus on that? But oh well. …Hey, are you reading this? I mean it’s cool if you’re not but you know…just wondering. Really trying to find some more similarities and stuff but I can’t so now onto conclusion: What I got from comparing the two is that the human organ is more complex than the sheep’s (unless the sheep had invisible complex parts). WWHAT WAIT A SECOND. I don’t understand. I googled sheep kidney, google gave me the suggest of “sheep kidney dissection guide”, and when I looked it up on google images, the kidney had stuff labeled that I didn’t see like the renal papillae. Maybe we cut it wrong D: Bleh, but this is half a page already….. Here is the picture of the kidney I DID NOT SEE.
