Description
As a scientific study of the human body, this course will examine the complementarity of structure and function in conjunction with clinical applications and will provide the foundation for understanding the design of the human body from the cell to the system level under the unifying theme of homeostasis. Topics include anatomical terminology, chemistry, cells, tissues, and the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and sensory systems. The laboratory component will focus on anatomical principles and complement lecture through microscopic and macroscopic observations that include organ dissections. The laboratory component must be taken concurrent with lecture. Lecture 3 hours, laboratory 3 hours.
