Laboratories are synchronized with lecture materials and include exercises using models, microscopic slides, animal specimens. Participation in the lab involves the study of anatomical structures and hands-on exercises related to physiological mechanisms of the neuro-skeletal-muscular systems and team work/group discussion.
