Course Description

This lab course provides prior anatomy students who have completed Advanced Anatomical Dissection the opportunity to master dissect a portion of a human cadaver. The student will independently perform the dissections during open laboratory times under the guidance of an anatomy instructor. At the end of the course, the student will have masterfully dissected a selected section of a cadaver that can be used in future anatomy courses. PREREQUISITE: BIOL C220 with a minimum Grade of A and BIOL C296 with a minimum Grade of A; Instructor Approval. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Display safe and efficient dissecting techniques.
2. Describe the ethical practices required in human cadaver dissection.
