The heart dissection is probably one of the most difficult dissections to do. Part of the reason it is so difficult to learn is that the heart is not perfectly symmetrical. The heart is also difficult because the fatty tissue that surrounds the heart can obscure the openings to the vessels. This means that students really must experience the heart with their hands and feel their way to find the openings.
