Sheep have a four-chambered heart, just like humans. By studying the sheep’s anatomy, you can learn how your own heart pumps blood through your body, thereby keeping you alive! Use this sheep heart dissection guide in a lab for high school students.

This page contains photos of the sheep heart dissection. All the major vessels are represented, many are labeled with colored pencils so that you can see exactly where each is located. The heart can be confusing because it is not perfectly symmetrical.

Observe the external appearance of the heart. Examine the beige heart muscle (myocardium) and the whitish-yellow fat that protects the heart. Find the apex (1). (*Note — only the left ventricle extends all the way down to the apex). Remember that each side of the heart is labeled according to the side of the animal’s body in which it is located.
