Lecture 1 is divided into three major topics for your convenience. Each discussion follows the outline for the topic given in your Lecture and Laboratory Syllabus for Biology 239: Human Anatomy with Cat Dissection. This lecture is not a substitute for your textbook. Rather, it helps you practice important concepts and defines key words that are not defined in your textbook.
