Program Summary
Anatomy as a course focuses on the study of the structure and organization of living organisms, with an emphasis on the human body. It explores the intricate details of organs, tissues, and cells, examining how these components interact and function together to maintain life. The course typically covers both the macroscopic (gross anatomy) and microscopic (histology) levels, introducing students to various systems such as the skeletal, muscular, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and nervous systems. It also delves into the developmental aspects of the body, looking at how organisms grow and change over time. Students learn through lectures, dissections, and laboratory work, gaining hands-on experience to reinforce theoretical knowledge. The goal is to understand not just the structure of the body, but also how these structures enable function, providing a foundation for fields like medicine, physical therapy, and biology.
