Roundworm Dissections!

Roundworms:


Today in Biology we got to chance to dissect real-life roundworms! Although it was quite smelly, it definitely was really interesting.


Here is a what our Roundworm looked like:

 



We found out that our Roundworm was a Male because of how it had a "Hook" on one end which they use for reproduction.




Once we started to cut open the worm, we found spaghetti-like structures which we found out later to be the worm's testicles.




Also we found a long/flat structure running throughout the whole roundworm and tha turned out to be the worm's intestine.
