ANA 601 - Human Gross Anatomy, Embryology, and Imaging

9 Credits

The Human Gross Anatomy, Embryology & Imaging course consists of a detailed study of the human body’s normal structure, development, and organization. This course takes a regional approach rather than a systemic approach. Human Gross Anatomy, Embryology & Imaging content is distributed into three blocks. Gross structures are studied in the laboratory by specimen prosection and demonstration. The radiology component of Gross Anatomy serves as the introduction to radiology and prepares the student for further development. Lectures stress the contribution of developmental events to a gross anatomical organization and the correlation of this organization with clinically relevant conditions.
