Human Anatomy
The detailed study of the human organism at from the cellular level through the organismal level. The relationship between structures and related function is covered in lectures. Laboratory study (required) includes substantial organ and animal dissection, bone analysis, and histology (microscope work).
Vertebrate Developmental Biology
This course provides an introduction to vertebrate development.
The fundamental developmental processes involved formation of an organism will be studied.
These include pattern formation, cell differentiation, organogenesis, morphogenesis, at the molecular and cellular levels.
Course Description:
The course centers on the study of genetic, physiological, environmental and interactive variables that influence human development from gametogenesis to birth.
The student will acquire an understanding of how development occurs in humans and
the relationship between abnormal developmental processes and disease states.
Course Objectives:
1. Describe the major milestones and anatomical structures associated with human development.
2. Explain the major theories and issues of human heredity and prenatal development.
3. Understand research methods used to study development and their applications.
Course Objectives:
To obtain a general understanding of the relationships between genes and the environment.
Course Objectives:
Principles of classical (Mendelian), molecular, and population genetics including patterns of inheritance, genetic code and regulation of protein synthesis, recombinant DNA techniques, and evolution of the genome at the population and molecular levels.
Course Objectives:
To obtain a broad overview of light microscopy, including the history of microscopy,
theoretical concepts and practical skills. The topics will be introduced in lectures,
and hands-
