In anatomy practical classes students will develop skills in dissection and learn to appreciate variation in structure due to species, age, and sex. Students will also study the embryology and histology of body systems and use microscopy and digital resources in some practicals. In physiology practical classes students will study physiological mechanisms and principles using a blending of live animal, isolated animal tissue, human measurements and computer simulations.
