BIOL 477Biology Cadaver Dissection

3 credits · Biology · Penn State

This course is an advanced exploration of human anatomy, based around cadaveric dissection. We will take a "regional" approach to learning anatomy, meaning that we will focus on each region of the body in turn. There will therefore be an emphasis on understanding the 3-D relationships between structures, and how all body systems are interrelated. Lab activities will center around the dissection of cadavers. You will work in groups to complete the dissections. Lecture activities will focus largely around small group work on hands-on activities and worksheets.
