Objectives:
Untitled document
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
1. Describe the relation of anatomy to other biological disciplines and
the field of medicine.
2. Name the steps of the scientific method and describe the relation of
the method to current knowledge of the human anatomy.
3. Name the organ systems of the body and describe their basic structural
design and function.
4. Apply appropriate laboratory skills, including use of a light
microscope, observation and comparison of tissue structure, and use of
basic anatomical terminology.
5. Identify the specific anatomical structures listed in the lab manual
using models, charts, specimens, and skeletons.
6. Utilize appropriate laboratory resources, including texts, lab manuals,
reference books, charts, models, laboratory specimens to enhance the
study of histological and anatomical structures.
