Laboratory work consists of the complete dissection of the human body, study of topographic relations of organs and structures, and the study of normal radiographic anatomy. A series of lectures and correlated laboratories providing a comprehensive study of normal microscopic structure of cells, primary tissues, and organs of the body. Each student will be provided with a loan collection of prepared slides for examination in the laboratory section of the course. Developmental Anatomy. 2 credits. A course in human development with consideration of fertilization, implantation, placentation and organogenesis.
Special emphasis is placed on analyses of variations and anomalies.
Cellular and Molecular Biology. A comprehensive series of lectures considering cell structure and function at the subcellular and molecular levels, with emphasis on basic mechanisms, experimental approaches and problem solving. Organelle biology, gene expression, cell signaling, cell cycle, development and oncogenesis are among the topics that will be addressed. 520R. Cellular and Molecular Biology Recitation. Students will participate in a discussion group in which research papers, assigned by the course instructor are interpreted, critiqued and presented by each student.
