Anatomy

This course presents lectures and cadaver dissection laboratories emphasizing the normal structure of the human body; the embryologic basis of adult anatomy; the relationship between structure and function; and the use of human gross anatomy in physical diagnosis.

This is an integrated, interdisciplinary course in which students learn to identify and describe the basic structural components and corresponding functions of the human nervous system. Emphasis is given to correlating underlying lesions involving these structures with neurologic deficits and dysfunctions likely to be encountered in clinical practice. Integrated lectures are given by faculty in the Departments of Anatomy and Physiology, and the Speech Language Pathology Program.

This is the first course in a two-course sequence that presents the macro- and microscopic structure and function of the human body in a blend of regional and systemic approaches. The courses also incorporate embryological development and the developmental basis of major congenital anomalies. Students will learn to apply anatomical knowledge to clinical practice through traditional lectures and dissections of anatomical donors combined with innovative workshops incorporating augmented reality, ultrasound imaging, and digital microscopy of human tissues. Medical Anatomy I covers the morphological characteristics of the four tissue types, the gross anatomy of the back, upper limb, thorax and abdomen, and the embryological development and microscopic morphology of corresponding and relevant organ systems and structures.

This course is a sequel to ANATD 1554 that presents the macro- and microscopic structure and function of the human body in a blend of regional and systemic approaches. The courses also incorporate embryological development and the developmental basis of major congenital anomalies. Students will continue to apply anatomical knowledge to clinical practice through traditional lectures and dissections of anatomical donors combined with innovative workshops incorporating augmented reality, ultrasound imaging, and digital microscopy of human tissues. Medical Anatomy II covers the gross anatomy of the pelvis, perineum, lower limb, head and neck, plus the embryological development and microscopic morphology of corresponding and relevant organ systems and structures.
