anatomy labs

Medical dissection rooms

Anatomy labs are educational facilities where students—typically in medical, nursing, or biology programs—study the structure of organisms through hands-on examination.

The term usually implies work with cadavers or preserved specimens: We spent three hours in anatomy lab dissecting the thoracic cavity.

Also called dissection labs.
