Course Description:
The aim of this course is to provide students with a basic clinical understanding of the
structural and functional organization of the human body at the gross (macroscopic)
level. The course will include an introduction to anatomical terms, movement, and study
tips, before moving to an overview of three body regions: Back, Upper Extremity, Lower
Extremity, and thorax, if time permits. While introducing these body regions an
emphasis will be placed on the relationship between structure and function of these areas.
This course is designed as a stand-alone subject for students wanting to pursue a career in
the health sciences.
Students are expected to attend 8 hours per week of formal classes, which consists of
lecture and lab. Each week there will be a quiz given at the beginning of class, followed
by a 3 hour lecture. The students will be split up into groups of 3 or 4 and will dissect for
2 hours, latter in the week under the guidance of the instructor, who will direct the
learning activities. Students doing dissection will be required to explain that area
dissected to the instructor who will be present in the lab. Gross anatomy practicals will
involve the identification of anatomical features on a dissected human specimen, bones,
and overheads.
Learning Outcomes:
1) Know all anatomical terms, planes, and positions as they pertain to the human body
2) Understand, clinically, all body regions covered during the semester
3) Understand the structure and functional organization of all body regions covered
during the semester
