Fundamental Issues In Dissection: Muscle Physiology--A Case Study
(Complete Item Description)
- Abstract:
Issues concerning the use and/or sacrifice of living organisms in the laboratory is discussed using a traditional muscle physiology exercise as a case study. The premise is put forth that sacrificing an animal's life is the only way to successfully establish the learning situation necessary to understand the concepts being presented. Instructor responsibilities and possible student reactions to animal use and sacrifice are explored with the intent of developing a consensus statement by the workshop participants.
