AN 511
Cell and Tissue Microscopic Anatomy and Physiology

This course will focus on the study of the microscopic anatomy and physiology of cellsa and basic tissue types. A major emphasis will be placed on connective, neural, and muscular tissues. A working knowledge of the microscopic structure and function of the basic tissue types will provide a framework for understanding how the organization of the tissues contribute to organ and organ system physiology.

Functional Anatomy and Biomechanics I: Spine

This course addresses the functional anatomy and biomechanics of the spinal column, ribs, and pelvis. Emphasis is placed on the interrelationships between the structure and function of the spinal column and its surrounding anatomical structures. Biomechanical principles are incorporated into functional anatomy of a dynamic human musculoskeletal system. Instruction includes lecture, dissection, tutorials, prosection and models.

3 lecture hours, 3 laboratory hours, 4.5 semester hours

AN 513
General Anatomy I: Viscera

This courses focuses on the anatomy of the organs plus the walls of the human thoracic and abdominopelvic cavities. The neurological and vascular relationships of these organs are discussed with emphasis on the clinical applications. Instruction includes lectures and laboratory with dissection and prosection, osseous structures and models.

3 lecture hours, 3 laboratory hours, 4.5 semester hours

AN 525
General Anatomy II: Head and Neck

This course focuses on the anatomy of the head, including the gross anatomy of the brain and special sense organs, and neck. The neurological and vascular relationships of these regions are discussed with emphasis on clinical applications. Instruction includes lectures, laboratory dissection and prosection, and models. Prerequisites: AN511, AN512, AN514.

3 lecture hours, 3 laboratory hours, 4.5 semester hours

AN 514
Clinical Embryology

Embryology covers the gametogenesis, fertilization, structural development from the zygote to birth. This course correlates the embryological development with other courses offered in semester I. Normal development, clinical correlations and common congenital abnormalities are presented. Emphasis is placed on the skeletal, muscular and nervous systems.
