Human Gross Anatomy

Catalog description

This course will supply students with a strong knowledge of all structures in the human body with a detailed study of the musculoskeletal system along with a strong emphasis on the nervous, and vascular systems. The relationship between structure and function will be addressed and the integration of these body systems during normal and abnormal function will be reviewed. Basic concepts of motion will be presented. Course structure will focus on regional anatomy and therefore will emphasize the relationship between various structures including muscles, nerves and arteries. This course provides a framework for the co-requisite laboratory of dissection of human cadavers. Every effort will be made to correlate material covered in the lecture portion of the course with laboratory instruction and dissection.
