anatomy lab

Where dissection happens

An anatomy lab is a specialized room or facility where students—typically in medical, nursing, or biology programs—study the structure of bodies through dissection.

The term usually implies work with human cadavers, though some anatomy labs use animal specimens or synthetic models.

I spent three hours in the anatomy lab examining the muscular system.
