Upper Division Courses

101. Human Gross Anatomy (4)

Lecture—4 hours. Prerequisite: Biological Sciences 1B; concurrent enrollment in course 101L strongly recommended. A detailed study of the gross anatomical structure of the human body, with emphasis on function and clinical relevance to students entering health care professions. GE credit: SciEng.—II. (II.) Gross

101L. Human Gross Anatomy (3)

Laboratory—6 hours; lecture/discussion—3 hours. Prerequisite: course 101 (may be taken concurrently). A detailed study of prosected human cadavers in small group format with extensive hands-on experience. GE credit with concurrent enrollment in 101: Wrt.—II. (II.) Gross

192. Internship in Morphology (1-12)

Internship—3-36 hours; final report. Prerequisite: upper division standing; laboratory science experience including some chemistry; approval of project by preceptor prior to period of internship. Experience of supervised internship in research laboratories of members of the department. (P/NP grading only.)

197T. Tutoring in Cell Biology and Human Anatomy (1-5)

Discussion—1 hour; laboratory—6-9 hours. Prerequisite: completion of course 101 with a grade of B or better and consent of instructor. Provides laboratory instruction in gross and microscopic human anatomy, with small groups of undergraduates under the supervision of the instructor. (S/U grading only.)

198. Directed Group Study (1-5)

Discussion—1-10 hours. Prerequisite: consent of instructor. Directed reading, discussion, and/or laboratory experience on selected topics. (P/NP grading only.)

Graduate Courses

200. Gross Anatomy—Graduate Courses (9)

Lecture—6 hours; laboratory—12 hours. Prerequisite: approval by committee on student evaluation and promotion. Integrated presentation of developmental, gross, and radiologic anatomy. Four students assigned to cadaver and dissect entire body. Embryology and radiology are correlated with the dissections. Embryology is covered from implantation to birth.—I. (I.) Tucker

202. Human Microscopic Anatomy (5)

Lecture—3 hours; laboratory—6 hours. Examines the normal microscopic structure of the basic cells, tissues, and organs of the body. Lectures emphasize morphology and structure-function relationships. Accompanying laboratories involve analysis and identification of sectioned material at the light microscopic and ultrastructural levels.—II. (II.) Primakoff

203. Neurobiology (4)

Lecture—3 hours; laboratory—3 hours. Prerequisite: two upper division or one graduate course in Neurobiology, consent of instructor. Physiology and anatomy of the normal human nervous system in an integrated format.—III. (III.) Kumari

290. Seminar (1)

Seminar—1 hour. Prerequisite: consent of instructor. (S/U grading only.)—I, III. (I, III.)

290C. Research Group Conference (1)

Discussion—1 hour. Prerequisite: graduate student with research experience (may be taken concurrently); consent of instructor. Discussion of problems, progress and literature relevant to current research undertaken by laboratory groups in Human Anatomy. (S/U grading only.)—I, II, III. (I, II, III.)

292. Fertilization and Gamete Literature Critique (1)

Discussion—1 hour. Prerequisite: consent of instructor. Critical evaluation of current journal articles dealing with cell biology and biochemistry of gametes and fertilization. Selected papers will be presented and discussed in detail by students and faculty. May be repeated for credit. (S/U grading only.)—I, III. (I, III.) Meizel

298. Advanced Group Study (1-5)

Prerequisite: consent of instructor.

299. Research (1-12)
