Anatomy & Dissection Lab

Gross Anatomy & Dissection Lab

The anatomy & dissection lab consists of eight stations equipped for gross anatomy and overflow embalming and is designed for the application of gross anatomy curriculum in the Bachelor of Mortuary Science program. Students participate in hand-on learning with the use of cadavers, learning the different systems of the human body. This is also a designated area for practical application of the capstone curriculum which includes cosmetizing, dressing, and casketing. Students participate in hand-on learning with the use of cadavers, learning the different systems of the human body.

Gross Anatomy (SCI446) is a semester IV elective course taken by students in the B.M.S. program. Students work in small groups, under the instruction of experienced faculty, to learn gross anatomy with an emphasis on those areas of the human body of interest to the embalmer, especially the circulatory system. The selfless generosity of those who have chosen to donate their body to science affords CCMS students the great privilege to gain hands-on experience through the study of human cadavers.
