MSMS 601 Human Gross Anatomy, Embryology and Imaging
The Human Gross Anatomy, Embryology & Imaging course consists of a detailed study of the normal structure, development and organization of the human body. This course undertakes a regional approach rather than a systemic approach to Human Gross Anatomy, Embryology & Imaging is distributed into three block contents. 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 gross anatomical organization and the correlation of this organization with clinically relevant conditions. Labs are delivered once a week using simulated anatomy labs via the Complete Anatomy application. Students will prepare for laboratories by reading the assigned material and reviewing the corresponding structures in handouts, slides, and the Complete Anatomy App prior to the lab. During the lab session, students will be shown slides of various structures and asked to identify and discuss those structures and functions. A lab quiz will be given during each lab to assess student understanding of the specific structures and functions assigned for the week.
