Since my A&P class this semester does not include lab, what exactly do you do in Lab with A&P 1 and A&P 2?
I do not have a clue what you need to do in the lab part.
Thanks for you replies and help!!
Blessings to all.
I remember that the exam on bones consisted of various bones placed atop tables with number tags on the bones. You had to either name the bone or the aspect (condyle, for instance). Harder when they are not on a skeleton, especially in A&P1. Identification of slides made up a large portion of the lab as well. I thought it was fun.
Yep, we had a cat in a bag... same cat, both semesters. But it wasn't bad. We learned so much; as another poster said, you'd be surprised at the internal similarities between the cat and the human.
As a cat lover, I thought I'd have a lot of trouble, but I didn't. You have to be open to the idea that this is a learning experience, and it's really kind of cool to see and manipulate and reflect the organs you've studied. It's not gross or messy, or bloody. The cats are euthanized humanely; they're not suffering. And as someone else posted, we learned to be really grateful for the opportunity.
That doesn't mean I want to do it again...
A&P I - we looked at slides and bones. We then had a test on each and had to tell which slide was which and the names of the bones and what side of the body they were from.
A&P II - we dissected a cat. It was pretty interesting. I did feel bad for the cats though. We also looked at lots of slides and had to take a test on them.
