The normal adult human heart is about the size of your closed fist. On average, the adult female heart is about 2/3rds the dimensions of the adult male heart. In terms of mass, the male heart ranges from about 280-340 grams, the heart in females ranges from 230-280 grams. However, individual variation exists of course, depending on body mass, physical conditioning,
and the health of the individual.

Literature searches and speaking with various people will give you different viewpoints on this topic. I have attached the results of literature searches that may help you.
In my own experience, many colleges, in particular junior colleges are now using strictly dry labs – no cadavers, with the use of instructional aids such as the ADAM CD-ROMS. There are two junior colleges that do use “a cadaver” that has been prosected for the student to “observe” structure.
