Principles of Anatomy and Histology

Catalog description

The anatomy component of the course will introduce the students to system-based anatomy: musculoskeletal, integumentary, nervous, cardiorespiratory, lymphatic, genital, and endocrine systems. It will integrate the gross anatomy with medical imaging. Students will also be instructed on the ethics of working in the anatomy lab. This course is lecture-based and will have an anatomy lab component. The Histology component of the course is designed to introduce students to microscopic anatomy, which includes the concepts of essential histology by surveying the four tissues: epithelial, connective, muscular, and nervous tissue. The virtual histology laboratory component will be incorporated into the histology lectures.
