Anatomy Cadaver (Wet) Lab
The only lab of its type in Australia outside of a major metropolitan area. Here students gain an in-depth understanding of the function of human bones, muscles and ligaments, as well as the cardiovascular, urinary, reproductive, respiratory, and nervous systems of the human body. The lab uses cadaver specimens, giving osteopathy and sport and exercise science students a unique experience and insight into human anatomy to facilitate learning and pedagogy in the allied health and scientific fields.
