COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this course you will study the microscopic and gross anatomical structures of the major human organ systems through use of human cadaver prosections, models, and illustrations. Emphasis will be placed on gross anatomy, however, the embryological origins of tissues and effects of aging and disease will also be discussed. Particular attention will be paid to:
- the relationship between cell/tissue structure and function
- the skeletal system and its embryological development, histology, structure of bone and arthrology
- the muscular system including origins, insertions and actions of superficial muscles
- the integumentary system
- the nervous system including neuronal structure, neuroglia, brain and spinal cord, cranial and spinal nerves, and autonomic nervous system
- the cardiovascular system including cardiac structure and cycle, blood vessels and hematopoiesis
- the lymphatic system structures
- the respiratory system microscopic and macroscopic structures
- the digestive system organs, mesenteries, and glands
- the urinary system microscopic and macroscopic structures including the process of urine formation
- the male and female reproductive structures and their embryologic development
Detailed learning objectives for each topic covered in the course can be found on the respective body system pages of this website. These pages are accessible from the pull-down menu on the home page.
