Rabbit Dissection Pre Lab
12.12.2015
Objective: To compare and contrast the skeletal muscles of a cat and those of a human being.
Today, I need you to work hard and get ready by reviewing the following items and completing the following tasks
from the Rabbit Dissection Laboratory Guide.
Your Task: To create a rabbit dissection notebook similar to the shark dissection notebook for part of your final grade
(yes, we still have a final exam too)
A. Anatomical Terminology Refresher:
