Catalog description

This course explores gross human anatomy emphasizing the lower/upper extremity, head/neck and trunk; cardiovascular, pulmonary, and integumentary systems; the endocrine system, and the central nervous system through online modules, learning activities, videotapes, and cadaver lab prosections. Functional correlates to the structures in health and disease will also be presented and discussed. This course will emphasize through reflection and case examples the plasticity of anatomical structures and their impact on occupational performance in response to life experiences, illness, and injury.
