Cat Dissection Lab Today

• Do the following in Holes Lab Manual BEFORE you
  start the cat reproductive system dissection
• Read Exercise 57 (Human Male, p. 465)
• Read Exercise 58 (Human Female, p. 471)
• Once you are generally familiar with the human
  reproductive structures
• Exercises 56,59 (Cat urinary, p. 459, and
  reproductive systems, p. 479)
• Be sure to look at torso model reproductive
