Applied Learning in Anatomy

Investigate the interdependent workings of the human body in UW-Stout Polytechnic's Anatomy & Physiology Lab—one of only two facilities in west-central Wisconsin. Our lab offers Stout students the opportunity to engage directly in practical, ethical anatomical studies using donor bodies as an integral part of their anatomy, physiology, and pathology coursework. The Anatomy & Physiology Lab serves as a foundational space for those pursuing pre-health pathways in medicine, exercise physiology, pharmacology, neuroscience, kinesiology, and biomechanics. Whether you're aspiring to a career in healthcare or examining the complexities of human biology, our Anatomy & Physiology Lab offers a rare opportunity to prepare for advanced academic and professional success.

Students engage with instructor in the cadaver lab.

UW-Stout Polytechnic's Anatomy & Physiology Lab offers a unique environment to study anatomy beyond traditional textbooks. The lab is furnished with advanced tools and a variety of anatomical models and histology samples. Students can examine diverse specimens, such as sheep, for comparative anatomical studies and use diagnostic tools like EKG machines and Backyard Brain kits to observe live neural signals and apply modern medical techniques.

Students perform applied-learning in cadaver lab space.
