Welcome to the Web-Based Cat Dissection Review     
for Human Anatomy and Physiology    

at McGraw-Hill and Penn State University    


How to Start

To the left you will find links to different anatomical images. You can get more information on any structure by "clicking" over the structure with the button on your mouse. This tutorial is being created to supplement your laboratory experience. It is not meant to replace a traditional anatomy laboratory, but rather gives you a chance to review some anatomy outside of the laboratory. You will most likely want to have your laboratory manual open while you are studying these images.
