COM 508 - HS II: Organ Systems and Head

Institution:

University of New England

Subject:

Osteopathic Medicine

Description:

Human Structure is a foundation course for the medical sciences. It presents students with an opportunity to learn structure and function, and apply their knowledge through use of weekly, clinical case studies. Knowledge of gross anatomy is essential to interpreting medical images, conducting physical exams, and performing basic and complex medical procedures. Knowledge of microscopic anatomy of the body's tissues and organs is crucial to understanding causes, mechanisms, and effects of disease. In addition, a strong background in human embryology provides further insight into the structure of the human body, and can help explain causes and mechanisms of anatomical variation and congenital malformation. By integrating gross anatomy, histology, and embryology students will progress toward a comprehensive, cell to organismal, working understanding of the human body. Human Structure I and II are designed to provide an integrated understanding of the gross structure, microstructure, and embryonic development of the human body. All are essential to understanding, diagnosing, and treating disease and dysfunction.
