Functionally-oriented Human Gross Anatomy
5 Credit hours
Fall semester (Indianapolis Campus)
Instructor(s) - V.Zinsmeister
Prerequisite(s) -
Graduate standing. Concepts of Biology I (K101) or Concepts of
Biology II (K103), or Embryology (K331), or equivalent
Description -
This is an introductory course in Human Gross Anatomy designed
to introduce graduate students to the concepts, terminology and basic
structure of Human Anatomy. It is designed for graduate students working
toward a terminal Master of science or doctoral degree in departments
other than the Department of Anatomy, or through interdisciplinary programs
such as the Medical and Biological Engineering Program. Emphasis will
be on providing a fundamental working knowledge of the structure and
function of the major organ systems, peripheral nervous system, and
vascular supply to regions in the trunk, head and neck, limbs and back.
The course is organized as a standard lecture/laboratory format
with three one hour lectures per week, and two 2 hour laboratory sessions/week.
