Emphasis is placed on cellular aspects of neurobiology and the organization of sensory, motor, and cognitive systems. This course is taught by members of the Departments of Anatomy and Cell Biology, Physiology, and Neurology. Cell Biology and Histology 105 hrs. Current concepts in cell biology are presented, including structure-function relationships in cells, tissues, and organs.
Format consists of lectures, clinical correlation conferences, laboratories, and review sessions.
Electives Intermediate and advanced graduate courses in anatomy and cell biology are open to medical students as electives. For these opportunities, consult members of the department or the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences catalog. Lecture, laboratory, and clinically oriented conferences.
