This document provides an overview and guide for dissecting the systems of a rat. It begins with the scientific and common names for rats, as well as their taxonomic classification. It then outlines some key anatomical terms that are important for dissection. The major body systems covered include the external anatomy, digestive system, urinogenital system, circulatory system, respiratory system, endocrine system, nervous system, and skeletal system. For each system, it provides diagrams and descriptions of the key organs to identify during dissection.

RATS Anatomical Terms Cranial-toward the head Caudal-toward the tail Dorsal-toward the backbone Ventral-toward the belly side Lateral-toward the side Medial-toward the middle Proximal: closer to the the base of a structure Distal: farther away from a structure External Anatomy The body is long and cylindrical: Head, neck, trunk, anterior limbs, posterior limbs, tail.
External Anatomy Head: eyes, nostrils, external ears (auriculars), mouth, whiskers. Neck: (head , trunk). Trunk: (thorax, abdomen). Ant. limbs: 4 digits Post. limbs: 5 digits Male External Features: Female External Features: Diastema Mouth Cavity Cleft lib Rhinarium Mouth Cavity Rat Dissecting Process: Rat Dissection REMOVING SKIN X Rat Dissection REMOVING SKIN

Key words and Functions: Seminal vesicle: secrete thick liquid to transport sperms. Coagulating gland: is to secrete fluids to form the copulatory plug to help ensure fertilization. Prostate gland: secrets thin alkaline solution. Vas deferens: transportation, ejaculation. Epididymis: transportation, maturation, ejac. Cowpers gland: secretions may lubricate, flush out urine or form gelatinous plug. The preputial glands: produce pheromones. The preputial glands of female animals are sometimes called clitoral glands. Testis: sperm production. Penis: Copulation. Scrotum: protection.
