An understanding of anatomy is essential to the study of biology, medicine and medically-related fields. Like most sciences, anatomy is learned both through lectures in the classroom and through a hands on approach in the laboratory. Laboratory experiences vary and can include experiments, dissection of animals or human cadavers, viewing histological slides, and studying diagrams and models. One of the most difficult aspects of studying anatomy is taking a lab practical.
Lab practicals are exams used to test your ability to identify different anatomical structures, organs, landmarks or markings. They are generally timed exams in which microscopes, models and pinned specimens are set up throughout the lab at numbered “stations.” In the most common form, students are each assigned a different station from which to start at the beginning of the exam. The professor or test proctor sets a timer and when the allotted time (usually 1-2 minutes) has ended, each student moves to the next station. This continues until students have visited all of the stations.
