Upper Division Courses

101. Human Gross Anatomy (4) II. Gross

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.

101L. Human Gross Anatomy (3) II. Gross

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.

192. Internship in Morphology (1-12) I, II, III, IV. The Staff

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) II. The Staff

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) I, II, III, IV. The Staff (Chairperson in charge)

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 (8) I. Tucker

Lecture--3.5 hours; discussion--1 hour; laboratory--10.5 hours. Prerequisite: graduate student and consent of instructor. To provide students with a vocabulary of human body structure and to acquaint them with structural relationships through dissection and lecture and to introduce them to functional aspects of gross anatomy, particularly as regards anatomical problem solving.

202. Human Microscopic Anatomy (5) II. Meizel

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.

203. Neurobiology (6) III. Kumari

Lecture--5 hours; laboratory--3 hours. Prerequisite: consent of instructor. Gross and microscopic anatomy of the central nervous system; motor and sensory pathways; neurophysiology, and cognitive functions.

250. Biology of Neuroglia (2) III. Kumari

Lecture/discussion--1.5 hours. Prerequisite: consent of instructor. The properties and functions of non-neuronal or neuroglial cells in the mammalian central nervous system with relevance to neuronal development, physiology and injury response. Offered in alternate years. (Same course as Neuroscience 250.) (S/U grading only.)

290. Seminar (1) I, III. The Staff

Seminar--1 hour. Prerequisite: consent of instructor. (S/U grading only.)

290C. Research Group Conference (1) I, II, III. The Staff

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.)

292. Fertilization and Gamete Literature Critique (1) I, II, III. Meizel

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.)

298. Advanced Group Study (1-5) I, II, III, IV. The Staff

Prerequisite: consent of instructor.

299. Research (1-12) I, II, III, IV. The Staff

Prerequisite: consent of instructor. (S/U grading only.)

Professional Course

396. Teaching Assistant Training Practicum

(1-4) I, II, III. The Staff (Chairperson in charge)

Prerequisite: graduate standing. May be repeated for credit. (S/U grading only.)

Professional Courses

400. Developmental, Gross, and Radiologic Anatomy (9) I. Tucker and staff

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 are assigned to a cadaver and dissect the entire body. Embryology and radiology are correlated with the dissections. Embryology is covered from implantation to birth.

402. Human Microscopic Anatomy (5) II. Meizel and staff

Lecture--3 hours; laboratory--6 hours. Prerequisite: approval by Committee on Student Evaluation and Promotion. 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 section material at the light microscopic and ultrastructural levels.

403. Neurobiology (5) III. Kumari and staff

Lecture--4 hours; laboratory--3 hours. Prerequisite: approval by Committee on Student Evaluation and Promotion. Physiology and anatomy of the normal human nervous system in an integrated format. Focus on gross and microscopic brain structure, functional neuroanatomy, and the physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacology of the nervous system. (Same course as Human Physiology 403.)

497T. Tutoring in Human Anatomy (1-5) I, II, III, IV. The Staff

Tutoring--3-15 hours. Prerequisite: advanced standing or consent of instructor. Assist instructor by tutoring medical students in preparation for one of the departmental courses that is a component of the required curriculum for the School of Medicine. (S/U grading only.)

498. Advanced Group Study (1-12) I, II, III, IV. The Staff

Prerequisite: medical students, interns, and residents with consent of instructor. Directed reading and group discussion and/or laboratory experience on selected topics. (S/U grading only.)
