COURSE CONTENT
Outcomes and Objectives:
At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to:
Untitled document
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.
