Anatomy and Physiology Lab

Students study human biological systems using professional-grade equipment and hands-on experimentation. The lab prepares students for health science and research careers.

The Anatomy and Physiology Lab supports upper-level biology courses such as Anatomy and Physiology and Behavioral Neuroscience.

The lab features research and laboratory-grade equipment for the collection and analysis of human electrophysiological measures, including ECG, EEG, EMG and more. It also houses several specimens for dissection, including preserved cats, fetal pigs, and various bovine and ovine organs.

The resources in this lab allow students to gain practical and hands-on experience studying from the same data sources they are likely to encounter in their careers after graduation.
