Advanced Human Anatomy

Catalog description

Instructional Method: Lecture and lab. Prerequisites: “C” or better in BIOL 311 and instructor permission A survey of gross (i.e. non-microscopic) human anatomy by region of the body (e.g. thorax, abdomen, lower limb, etc.) rather than by system (e.g. skeletal, cardiovascular, etc.), with clinical and biomechanical applications. Three hours lecture, three hours lab. A major component of this course is that students will work in small groups throughout the semester to completely dissect a human cadaver region by region. BIOL 414 builds on the introductory anatomy covered in BIOL 310 and BIOL 311 ; an understanding of basic human anatomy and physiology will be assumed.
