Animal Dissection Exercises

Dissecting animals in the classroom is an important part of the medical sciences education curriculum.

It serves as a hands on tool to deliver valuable information leading to higher knowledge of comparative human anatomy.

Animal cadavers can be obtained through a biological supply company (or sometimes the local butcher!) Teachers must be aware and sensitive to substantive student objections to dissection and to consider providing appropriate lessons for those students where necessary!
