We had computer cadavers. Not as much fun when you can't poke and prod at body parts but still very informative.
In highschool A&P I did cats and sharks (little ones), in college biology I did worms and crayfish, and in highschool biology I did a frog.
Geez I love science, ain't it great?

All we had in my AP class was Seal-A-Meal rats and cats. We got to dissect at our discretion in teams. We did an experiment and report on chicken muscle:rolleyes:
When I go to Towson I have to take A&P over again:roll Love it! Hopefully, it will be a little more about human anatomy.
Do cadavers come in giant Seal-A-meal baggies???:roll

A cat, sheep eyeballs, a cow heart. It is a smelly experience but you do learn a lot and by the midterm, you won't notice the smell anymore.
Good luck!

We didn't get to dissect anything!! It was all computer simulated lab work. So much for a local community college!
At my community college Fundamental Anatomy says it is computer simulated dissection but for Human it doesn't say anything and Jefferson says I have to take Human.
Maire I'm in South Jersey too. Where did you do your pre-reqs and where are you going to school?
