Cat Dissection

The purpose of this cat dissection was to learn where and what muscles look like in an actual living organism. Cats are commonly used for dissections because of the similarities to human muscles. Throughout the project we overcame many difficulties with the skinning and separating the connective tissue. Our cat was very unique and slightly difficult because of the thick layer of skin and strong connective tissue. In this website we will have our lab write-up, pictures, labels, our muscle sections, and notes on our dissection. |
