So the coolest thing ever...I'm taking this histology class, and today we had to get a mouse n a rat n put them to sleep so as to collect their tissues.

We put them to sleep with chloroform...and the cool thing was that..when we were infusing them with formaldehyde, the limbs and tail of the rat started TWITCHING like it was alive!!
I mean you could see that this rat was stone dead, but after formaldehyde, you should have seen it twitching like crazy!
I thought that was soo cool...they say it was the interactions of the formaldehyde with the actin/myosin cross binding or something...i wont get into that now lol.

but ya just had to write that out. Cool beans.
