Gross Anatomy & Basic Neuroanatomy

Catalog description

This combined lecture and laboratory course introduces students to the normal macroscopic structure of the human body, including the brain and spinal cord. A regional approach is taken, whereby all structures within a body region are studied together, with an emphasis on functionally and clinically relevant anatomy and neuroanatomy. In laboratory, students collaborate in small groups to complete a thorough cadaveric dissection, including dissection of the brain and spinal cord. Normal radiologic anatomy is integrated into each regional topic.
