Integrated Anatomical Sciences I

Catalog description

This is the first course in a two-year longitudinal comprehensive program focused on the disciplines of Gross Anatomy, Developmental Anatomy (Embryology), Microscopic Anatomy (Histology), and Neuroanatomy. In Anatomy I, students will examine the development of humans from single cells to the embryo, study the structures that constitute a cell, explore the components of tissues, and survey the structure and organization of the human body. This course integrates clinical imaging (ultrasound, plain film x-ray, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging), virtual dissection, virtual microscopy, and practical exercises.
