Subject:

Physician Assistant Studies

Description:

The second course in a two-part series. It provides a continuation of the study of anatomy and physiology from a clinical aspect. It is designed to provide students with essential knowledge of the major anatomical regions, structures of the body, and the important physiologic functions, and mechanisms for maintaining homeostasis within it. It uses a system and an intersystem approach covering topography, internal structures, and functions. The major anatomic features and physiologic functions of the human organism will be examined and discussed, with correlations to diagnostic modalities currently used by practitioners to establish correct diagnoses and appropriate therapies. Case studies will illustrate the anatomical findings in the classical clinical presentations of the most common chief complaints. Topics covered include the musculoskeletal system, the neurological system, and the endocrine system.
