Tissue Cover
Question for chemists: what acid can be used to corrode muscle tissue?
I am doing a cat dissection in Biology, and we have removed the head, and all the skin and fur from it, as well as the eyes, ears, and tongue. There is still some muscle tissue covering the skull however, and we want to dissolve that tissue so that we are left with just the skull. What acid will dissolve muscle tissue but leave the skull intact?
The best way to remove muscle from your cat's skeleton is not acid at all, but to boil it...
In high school biology, we got extra credit for reconstructing the cat skeleton, and if you place the skull (or the whole cat, for that matter) in boiling water you can "cook" the muscle off. Just make sure you do it OUTSIDE, as the smell is far from pleasant! The tissue should either come off by itself, or be easily scraped off afterwards..
Hope that helps!
