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.
