## What is Rat Dissection?

Punflay introduces another dissection app - Rat Dissection for the iPad.

Back by popular demand, Punflay is adding another dissection app to its existing line-up of educational iPad apps. This time, students can experience a virtual dissection of a rat. Just like the award-winning app, Frog Dissection, Rat Dissection for the iPad has been designed for middle and high school students. The content for the app has been validated by subject matter experts to ensure accuracy. It’s a great substitute for the real thing and will fit perfectly in the science curriculum. 

Educators and students will find this very green app a blessing in the classroom. Users can get a feel for dissecting a rat on the iPad without ever inflicting any harm on the animal. The app walks you through a series of steps on how to dissect a rat.  All you have to do is to simply follow the written instructions along with voice-over to dissect and explore the rat’s internal organs. Besides a virtual chloroformed specimen, Rat Dissection comes with all the dissection tools.  The organs are all presented as 3D images.  Users can tap on the individual organs to see what they look like from different angles. Detailed information on the organs is provided to help the student learn about their structure and function.

Key Features:
•Vivid 3D images of rat’s internal organs

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2020-03-27, version 1.4*

It’s a waste of four dollars there’s only one surgery

### 3/5 — Crash

*2018-07-16, version 1.4*

The game keeps crashing

### 3/5 — Constant update

*2018-01-06, version 1.3*

I have an older version of IOS on my iPad. I am now receiving constant messages to update to the latest version of this app. Could this be stopped as it is very annoying. Otherwise this app is quite good.

### 2/5 — Buggy

*2014-12-08, version 1.3*

Every time I view an organ in detail the. Try to go back to the organ overview the whole app closes (crashes?). The frog dissection is much smoother but I needed a mammal for my class...

### 1/5 — TERRIBLE!!

*2013-06-22, version 1.3*

I have a practical coming up in A+P so I decided to try this. It doesn't show any muscles and all it shows is the organs. Waste of $4.00, google search the images, it's easier.

### 2/5 — Playing

*2013-05-04, version 1.3*

I think this app is very educational but it would be much more entertaining if it would allow you to make mistakes or cut open the brain or cut open the guts to see what is inside. I also think it would be useful to see what the blood does when the rat is cut.
Sincerely,
Ally (a 13 year old)

### 4/5 — Feedback

*2012-03-23*

Good but not as good as frog dissection. If you added more features like interactive activities and and information on the specimen would be 5*

### 2/5 — :(

*2012-02-20, version 1.1*

I want my money back

### 3/5 — Good enough...

*2012-02-19, version 1.1*

Generally it's fine but I find it confusing when it describes the organs -- it doesnt point or show you the part of theorgan its describing or talking about

### 5/5 — Mr. Cricket

*2012-01-23, version 1.1*

Best app for inspiring medical students
