We dissected a worm in HS. There were died organs in them, which helped identify all the different parts. Was shocked at how complex they were, always imagined they were just tubes of slime before that

We did too! I fucking hated it

I'm old, we dissected frogs and mice πŸ€“

I’m from New England, so we dissected lobsters too πŸ˜‚

I've done that at the dinner table πŸ¦‚

Same, that’s why I was so good at it

I actually enjoyed that one. Fetal pig was a bit tougher. Day 1 - break the jaw...

I got out of that one

I did as well, I got extra credit because I was the only one to locate the worm's brain.

Aren’t they sooooooo tiny like hard to see?

Yeah, it looks like a finger nail clipping but about 1/20 the size

Don't they have a couple? And they're more nerve clusters than proper brains, iirc

I'm not aware of there being more than one. That might depend on the specific species of worm.

Earthworm. Just googled. Seems you're right. But "brain" is apparently a bit of a stretch for what they're working with. Then there are nerve clusters here and there, so maybe I was thinking of those. I didn't retain much of anything from biology, not my forte

Wooooahhh
