Availability: Rats are most frequently used as type specimen for mammalian dissection because they are readily available and they possess the typical mammalian body plan. Most of what you learn on the rat is applicable to the anatomy of other mammals, such as humans. Rats can be obtained from pet shops, biological supply companies or pharmaceutical firms.
