New A&P lab approach

Great new lab approach. Teaching human muscles by having the students mold them from clay and attach them to a basic skeleton. Described in paper Waters, JR; et al; Cat dissection vs. sculpting human structures in clay: an analysis of two approaches to undergraduate human anatomy laboratory education Advances in Physiology Education 29: 27-34, 2005.

Also has great references for papers on models vs live animal dissection in education.
