Credit Hours: 4
An in-depth study of human anatomy designed to prepare students for medical school anatomy. Lecture topics will include a detailed study of the endocrine system; the glands and their hormones; the cardiovascular system; the heart, blood vessels and the blood; human immunity and the lymphatic system; the respiratory system, including lungs and all passageways; the digestive system; alimentary canal and accessory digestive structures; and the urinary and reproductive systems. The laboratory work will be entirely with human cadavers and will include study of the cardiovascular system (heart, major arteries and veins), lymphatics observable on cadavers (thoracic duct, possibly lymph nodes, and spleen), the respiratory system (lungs, bronchi, trachea, larynx, pharynx, nasal cavity), the alimentary canal and accessory digestive organs, the urinary system (kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra), and the reproductive system; subject to gender of the cadavers available (male and female genitalia, if possible, uterus, ovaries, uterine tubes).
