Medical Anatomy

Catalog description

The study of human gross anatomy, including a cadaver dissection laboratory. Anatomy of the limbs, back, thorax, abdomen, pelvis, and head and neck is approached on a regional basis, with a special focus on fundamental neuroanatomical information in a clinical context. Lectures emphasize regional anatomical relationships and functional aspects of the systems and provide a guide to the dissections. The ultimate objective is to attain a detailed understanding of structure-function relationships in the human body that underlie the practice of medicine.
