| Catalog Description: | An intensive study of human anatomy with emphasis on normal physiology and disease states that result when normal homeostatic mechanisms are compromised. Topics covered include basic cellular structure and function, tissue components of the body, cellular metabolism, integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems and special senses. Laboratory exercises are intended to enhance topics covered in lecture. Models, dissection material, and other media are used to explore the structure of the cell, tissues, integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. |

Describe the basic tissues of the body and their location and explain thier functions. 5. Demonstrate an understanding of human genetics and genetically transmitted diseases. 6. Explain the normal structure, function, and major pathological conditions of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, and nervous systems. 7. Describe the structures that comprise the special sensory organs and explain their normal functioning and major pathological conditions. 8. Define and properly use terminology appropriate to the study of human anatomy. 9. Identify cell and tissue structures using microscopy and other media. 10. Identify the stages of the cell cycle using microscopy and other media. 11. Identify structures of the integumentary system using microscopy and other media. 12. Identify bones and landmarks of the axial and appendicular skeleton using human skeletal materials, models and other media. 13. Identify major muscles of the human body including origins, insertion and actions from models, dissected specimens and other media. 14. Identify the major structures of the central and peripheral nervous systme using models, dissected specimens and other material. |
