| Biohazard Cleanup Protocol | A strict routine followed in labs to disinfect tools and surfaces that came in contact with human tissue or fluids. |
| Muscle Tone Snapshot | The natural low-level contraction of muscle seen in preserved specimens; helps identify muscle groups even when relaxed |
| Dissection Memory Trick | A student-made rhyme or hand gesture to help remember the location or function of small, hard-to-find structures during dissection. |
| Wet Specimen Whisper | The faint smell that signals preserved tissue is present; often used jokingly by lab partners to warn each other before opening a jar. |
| Living Anatomy Lab | A study session where students use their own bodies or classmates (e.g., pulse, reflexes) to understand anatomy in real time. |
| Cadaver Respect Code | The unwritten (but serious) rule that you treat donated human bodies in the lab with full respect, gratitude, and care. |
| Lab Partner Drift | A humorous term for when your lab partner slowly takes over the dissection while you end up just labeling pins and writing. |
