Description
A comprehensive, medical study of the human body integrating structure and function with a problem-based approach, this course is a study of the organizational design of the body and will include medical imaging, homeostasis, chemistry, cytology, histology, pathology, pathophysiology and pharmacology with an emphasis on the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous and sensory systems. Dissections, including cat dissections, are an integral part of the laboratory experience. The laboratory component complements lecture through its focus on problem-solving, activities and assignments, and an in-depth anatomical study through both microscopic and macroscopic observations to understand the complexity of the human body. Lecture three hours, laboratory three hours. The laboratory component must be taken concurrent with lecture.
