Description
Preserved cats are popular dissection specimens for anatomy and physiology labs. Their large size and extended anatomical position allow students to easily examine all mammalian organ systems. In addition, using specimens with the skin removed allows students to begin their study and dissection of the muscular system immediately, which saves valuable lab time. These specimens are ideal for upper-level students because they allow:
- Effective use of essential lab time
- In-depth study of the mammalian muscular system
- Detailed examination of the circulatory, reproductive, and nervous systems
- Removal of individual organs for dissection
- Long-term use with proper handling and storage
Product Features
