BIOL 230L Donor Body Prosection
This course will allow students to participate in the prosection of a preserved donated human cadaver and preparation of the donor body for use in BIOL 105, BIOL 227, and BIOL 228. Students will build upon the concepts taught in BIOL 105, BIOL 227 and BIOL 228 as they actively dissect donor bodies. This course will include laboratory work and individual study time. Prerequisite: completion of, or concurrent enrollment in BIOL 105, BIOL 227, or BIOL 228; or Instructor permission. This course may be repeated once.

IV. Student Learning Outcomes
Upon completion of this course, a student will be able to:
- Create a detailed anatomical resource and prosection plan, with specific anatomical content and a thoughtful, attractive and functional design that will guide weekly dissections.
- Describe and identify the anatomical structures of the assigned dissection region.
- Apply anatomical knowledge to the process of dissection; recognize, interpret, and
document anatomical variations and pathologies.
- Communicate and demonstrate knowledge of anatomy with peers and course
