Today we delved deeper into the rabbit. It was a journey through the rabbit’s digestive system, which included the liver, the gallbladder, the kidneys, the pancreas, small and large intestine, the caecum, the urinary bladder, and more. After uncovering the organs, we cut into the stomach which revealed the rabbit’s diet- greens. We then moved the small and large intestine to the side, and traced a tube from the kidneys to locate the urinary bladder. Lastly, we uncovered the spine and the vertebrae underneath the layers of muscle.
After we finished dissecting, we watched Dr. Todd and Mrs. Burnett saw off the rabbit’s foot, and assign groups to create a prosthetic for the rabbit that would replace the front paw. We decided to make a wheel prosthetic to attach to the bone for a wide range of movement, and because we thought it would be out of the ordinary and that the final 3D printed version would look cool. We created the skeleton/plan in Fusion, and it will be printed and later attached onto the rabbit’s foot.
