Cadaver Dissection-based Human Anatomy with Histology and Physiologic Correlations

Catalog description

This course will provide students with a sound understanding of the normal human body as a foundation for subsequent pursuing biomedical careers. The gross anatomy component will give a full breakdown of all gross aspects of the human body and the associated systems, while also including cadaver dissection-based laboratories. The histology component will provide students with an understanding of the structural and functional organization of the human body at the cellular and subcellular levels. The embryology component will briefly discuss the major systems and how they form within a developing embryo. This course is well-suited to all biomedical careers, including pre-clinical and biomedical undergraduates, post-baccalaureate, pre-clinical master of science graduate programs, plus medical and dental students seeking additional training in the anatomical sciences. It will meet any of the anatomy-oriented prerequisites being implemented for medical and dental school applications, including those preferring or requiring a cadaver-based experience. The assessments will include a combination of written and cadaver-based practical questions. Offered as ANAT 410 and PAST 410 . Prereq: Students must be in Physician Assistant Program.
