MASTERINGAANDP.COM : Your Laboratory Manual has some excellent resources for both lecture and lab. Information about this website, www.masteringaandp.com , and the access code are described at the beginning of your lab manual. You will need to complete a registration process to use this site, but leave the course ID number blank. Especially note the excellent PAL sections. This is also the location of the Physioex Skeletal Muscle Physiology exercise.
Upon completion of lab exercises, you should complete the corresponding review sheets. Although you will not be required to hand in these exercises, they help to emphasize key concepts and are invaluable in preparing for lab exams.

Exercise 1 in Cat Dissection: p. 705: There are enough cats so that every 4 people
may have one cat. More than 4 people per cat makes work difficult. The cats
may not leave the laboratory room! Dissect as described in your manual, but
only dissect one side of the cat. (Another section will be dissecting the other half.) Put your cat away as described by your instructor when your dissection is complete. Clean your working area thoroughly. Here is a great website with nice photographs
of cat muscles, plus the PAL site at masteringaandp.com is awesome.

Why do we dissect? With all of the great technology tools, like 3-d imaging, why do we dissect in lab? The physical act of dissection is an extremely effective learning tool in contrast with “virtual dissections” available in computer programs. Dissection is the best way to provide a tactile sense of body tissues. In fact the word “anatomy” comes from Greek “to dissect” or “cut up.” Currently, even with virtual reality headsets, nothing can reproduce the learning of anatomy through your actual tactile sense (in addition to other senses). This experience will help you touch, visualize, and separate tissues in order to learn them. Most A&P students are pursuing careers in healthcare. At some point, this experience in dissection will help in the diagnosis and/or treatment of your patients. For example, it is how we know that muscle won’t hold stitches well but tendons will. Or, if you are a first responder at a car wreck at night, you may only have your sense of touch to immediately decide what to do.
Why do we dissect cats? Although many students are excited about the dissections, there are still several questions that arise when it comes to the cats. There are several reasons why this choice of dissection animal has been made. We do not have the space, money, nor supply of human cadavers to dissect. MSU Denver offers an upper division anatomy course to dissect a human cadaver, called Advanced Human Cadaver Anatomy. We dissect cats in A&P because once you understand that a cat’s anatomical position is on all four feet, their anatomy is very similar to that of humans. After you learn the structures on the cat, we offer cadaver “tours” towards the end of the semester, to make that transition to the human anatomy. The question of the ethics of using cats for medical science dissection and learning can and should be raised. The ethical argument against the use of cats would be stronger if cats were bred specifically to be killed for dissection. However, the cats we use are the product of uncontrolled reproduction of pets. The surpluses wind up at the animal shelter and if not adopted, are euthanized. It is clear that using these animals, which have already been euthanized, yields at least one positive outcome of their deaths, one of advancing the teaching of medical science. Until the pet population explosion is under control and there is no surplus of euthanized cats, it would seem that a constructive use of a social tragedy is to be encouraged.
