Audiovisual materials are routinely used in the classroom and laboratories and are available in the library to enable students to study at their own pace. Gross Anatomy is primarily a laboratory course incorporating a strong clinical correlation with major emphasis on the dissection and study of the adult human body. Students are encouraged to work independently. Human Developmental Biology is presented in a separate series of lectures correlated with instruction in Cell Biology, Histology, and Gross Anatomy. Chronological development of organs and important anomalies of the various body systems are stressed.
Neurobiology is presented jointly with other departments.
An integrated approach to the study of the structure and function of the nervous system is provided through a series of lectures, laboratory sessions, conferences, and demonstrations, with emphasis on a scientific understanding of the anatomical and cellular basis of neurological syndromes.
