MEDI 345 - Human Anatomy and Physiology I: Musculoskeletal, Cardiovascular, and Nervous Systems

Course Description

Human anatomy will be taught using a systemic approach and emphasizing the connection between function and structure as it relates to physiological conditions and diseases. Selected topics of topographic anatomy will be examined, including head/neck and pelvis. This course is suitable for advanced undergraduate and/or postbac students planning a career in medicine and biomedical research and will be taught at a level of complexity that is similar to courses offered at most medical schools. Other biomedical researchers who seek to better understand the structural underpinnings of normal and pathologic functions of the human body may also find the course useful.
