Why do we dissect? • develop skills of observation and comparison • discover the shared and unique structures and processes of specific organisms • develop a greater appreciation for the complexity of life.
Dissection Safety • Never hold specimens in your hand to dissect them; always pin them securely to a dissecting pan. • When using a scalpel, cut away from your body. Never cut towards your body. Always remove cap properly.
Dissection Safety • Handle all specimens and equipment as directed • Perform dissection according to given directions and do not stray from these procedures without explicit consent from me!
Dissection Safety • Always wear safety goggles and a lab apron while in the dissection lab.
Student Discipline • You are not permitted to take any animal parts out of the room, joke or horse around, or eat and drink in the dissection room. • No mutilation of the specimen or its structures.
Student Discipline • Any violation of these rules will result in a trip to the dean’s office and a zero on the assignment.
