Cat Dissection Lab Project (test grade)
 Take clear pictures of your cat showing each structure while you are dissecting. Check
them daily to see if you need to retake any.
 Project must be submitted on/before the due date along with the project rubric to
receive full credit.
 Your project ppt should be arranged as following:
o Title slide with group names
o Muscle section
o Organ section
o Blood vessel section
 Each structure must have a clear arrow and label.
o Each of the 15 organs must also have the major function as well. You may use the
functions from your worksheet.
o You may show up to 5 structures on one picture/slide as long as they all show up
