    This document provides the goals and procedures for a lab on the nervous system and senses. The lab focuses on six sections: 1) identifying structures of the brain using sheep brain specimens and a human model, 2) describing the anatomy and function of the spinal cord and nerves using models, 3) identifying eye structures using a sheep eye and model and performing vision tests, 4) identifying ear structures using a model and locating sounds, 5) exploring sensory receptors in the skin, and 6) reviewing material from the lab. Students are instructed to use specimens, models, diagrams and procedures to learn the key structures and functions in each section.
