This course is a study of human anatomical structure using a body systems approach from the microscopic to gross levels of organization. Of particular emphasis are unifying themes including the complementarity of human anatomy form and function, interrelationships between organ systems and the application of knowledge to homeostatic disruptions observed in human disease and other clinical conditions. This workshop-style course combines the lecture and laboratory components (three laboratory hours per week) to provide students with hands-on experiences learning anatomical concepts, developing critical thinking, understanding scientific methodology and the application of scientific principles.
Prerequisite: Sophomore standing
