Dissection of a Flower

Today we dissected a flower to see if we could find and photograph the different parts of the reproductive system, as this would help us visualize and understand how this system worked.

Here we see the female reproductive part, the pistil, and the different parts of it

Here we can see the inside of the ovary, although it it isn't very clear here, this is where the eggs should be

Here we see the male part of the flower, the stamen, where the pollen is produced

here we see the petal, which is a superficial part of the flower that is supposed to attract insects
