COURSE CONTENT

Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:

A successful student in Anatomy 58 should be able to:

1.  describe overall organization of human anatomy.

2.  describe anatomical structures and basic function of

   human systems studied from cellular to gross anatomy.

3.  Be able to identify and classify specific cells, tissues, organs, and

   their associated features within the human body.

4.  Apply appropriate laboratory skills germane to this course, including

   use of light microscope, observation and comparison of tissue

   structure and use of basic anatomical terminology.

5.  Communicate theoretical and specific knowledge of human anatomy

   effectively through written reports, essay exams and verbal

   discussion.

6.  Utilize appropriate laboratory resources, including laboratory

   materials, text and lab manual, reference books, models, laboratory

   specimens, histological manual and course syllabus to enhance study of

   histological and anatomical structures.

7.  Apply concepts related to human anatomy as they relate to each major

   body system and tissue.

8.  Apply theoretical and scientific knowledge of anatomical systems when

   analyzing, evaluating, or problem solving previously unseen or

   hypothetical structures.
