DEVELOPMENT AND APPLIED ANATOMY

Catalog description

This course is designed to give the graduate student a sound educational foundation in human embryology and anatomy using a systems approach. The course requires that student’s research outside sources to gain insight into the concepts presented. Embryological and anatomical concepts are introduced whose understanding is essential to continuing in gross anatomy and other subjects. Each section in anatomy is preceded by the embryological development of that area or system. Areas of emphasis include anatomic terminology, fertilization and implantation, embryological development, osteology, arthrology, myology, neurology, and the cardiovascular system to prepare the graduate students for advanced anatomy and diagnosis coursework. Course material will be presented in an online lecture format with either online or on campus labs supported by models and virtual technology to emphasize anatomical features and topographical landmarks.
