Make a list of instruments you’ll be using and the number of
each.
After reading the objectives of the lab, how many organs for
each system are you required to know and identify.
Name the two major regions of the integumentary system.
Name three functions of this system.
Name the four key parts to the skeletal system. What does
Hemopoiesis mean?
What is the only function of the muscular system? Name the
three parts of the body mentioned that the muscular system
plays a role.
Name the three parts of the nervous system. Which parts
make up the central nervous system?
Name two functions of the endocrine system. What chemical
is produced by the glands that make up this system? How is
this system different from the nervous system? Name the eight
types of organs that make up this system.
Guiding Questions #2
1. What purpose does the circulatory system serve?
What is it primarily composed of?
2. Name the six key structures that make up the
respiratory system. What purpose does this system
serve? Name the minute little sacs in the lungs that
help with gas exchange.
3. Name the six parts of the digestive system. Where
does digestion begin? Which part of the system is
used to remove water from the food?
4. What roles do the pancreas and liver play in the
digestive process?
5. Name one of the key waste products excreted by the
Urinary system. Name the four main organs of this
system.
6. Name the key structures of the male and female.
Initial Procedures to Begin the
Dissection

Dissection Guide: turned to the appropriate pg.
Instruments: see list
Paper towels
Water cup (half-filled) & dropper
Lab coat (optional)
String tied to each limb to immobilize the rat.
Freezer Bag: Names of lab partners (2-3)
-Preliminary (male & female) names for your rat
Guiding Questions #3
1. From your dissection guide which chapter discusses the
muscular system?
2. Before identifying the muscles the rat must be skinned.
The first incision to be made begins on the
surface of the _____ and continues down to the point
just anterior to the ______.
3. Circumvent cuts are made to the (right,left) by the
genetials and mouth. How does the guide suggest that
you separate the skin from the body?
4. Before separating the muscles and identifying them you
first need to remove the tough white connective tissue
that surrounds the muscles. Name this tissue.
5. Using Figure 14 (lateral view) list all of the muscles
labeled in the diagram. You will ID these in your rat
first.
General Rules
• No Food or Drink at your Station at all times
• Remain at your station at all times unless
instructed
• Keep track of all instruments (do a count everyday)
• No open toed shoes
• Do not cut anything unless instructed
• Always follow your Dissection guide

Name the three pairs of salivary glands commonly found in the
rat.
Within the mouth cavity if you were to look inside you would
observe a hard and soft palate. Where are they specifically
located?
After opening the abdominal cavity you should be able to
locate the esophagus and follow it to the stomach. Name two
structures that would be located next to the stomach.
On page 28 of your guide sheet the diaphragm separates two
cavities. Name them.
How many lobes is the liver is divided into? Name them.
Name the three regions of the stomach. How is the great
omentum different from the lesser omentum?
