Yep, we get a cadavear. No, we are not a med school. We don't get to do anything to it, we just get to observe it whenever we are going over things like muscles, organs, etc.. We had one student who badgered the teacher enough I think he finally just gave in. Normally, we don't see it until later on in the semester.

Hey fellow A&P students, we saw the body!!
Wow, it was not as bad as I had thought it would be. I found it pretty interesting really. The lungs were smaller than I thought, ie. they were not filled with air. Still, I thought the lungs would be larger. He was skinned except for his hands, feet and head. I tried not to look at the head too much.
The smell was bad, but not like I thought. It did pierce your nose, and it was strong, but nothing you can't handle.
All in all, a good experience.
Anyone else get to see there's yet?
Jenny;)
