Notes
Lab Activities
A list of words is provided below that you are expected to identify, learn, and label on the models provided. Note that not all models will have some of the organs/structures, so be sure to find them on an alternate model. You must use all the words provided. Using the colored tape provided, write the number that corresponds to the organ/structure and place them on your model. When complete, notify your TA so they may check your work.
For each additional station, directions will be provided for the activity.
Station One: Mouth
Label the models of this station with the number that corresponds to the appropriate structure of the peripheral nervous system using the colored tape. When you are finished, ask your TA to check your labeling. Before leaving the station, remove all the labels you have placed on the model.
Note: For the following structures, be able to differentiate between left and right halves when applicable.

Station Two: Esophagus and Stomach
Label the models of this station with the number that corresponds to the appropriate structure of the peripheral nervous system using the colored tape. When you are finished, ask your TA to check your labeling. Before leaving the station, remove all the labels you have placed on the model.

Station Three: Liver, Gallbladder and Pancreas
Label the models of this station with the number that corresponds to the appropriate structure of the peripheral nervous system using the colored tape. When you are finished, ask your TA to check your labeling. Before leaving the station, remove all the labels you have placed on the model.
Note: For the following structures, be able to differentiate between left and right halves when applicable.
Liver
#1 right lobe of liver | #3 right hepatic duct | #5 common hepatic duct | #7 hepatic canaliculi |
#2 left lobe of liver | #4 left hepatic duct | #6 hepatic lobule | #8 falciform ligament |
