PAS 5030 HUMAN ANATOMY
The foundational course in human anatomy includes a lecture/team-based learning component with an integrated computer-based laboratory experience. A regional approach to human anatomy is used to provide a comprehensive overview of the anterior and posterior thorax, upper and lower extremities, abdomen, pelvis, neck, head and central nervous system The relationship between structure and function will be explored as well as the interrelation of these structures and organ systems. This course provides the basis for an understanding of effects of disease and a clinical correlation to pathology and disease presentation.
The laboratory portion of this course is combined with the lecture/team-based learning components, and is integrated with the lecture based learning content and involves hands-on learning with anatomical models and assigned computer-based exercises. An emphasis on clinical application of basic anatomical structures will include normal, abnormal and pathologic findings.
