Anatomy: |
| This course offers a basic understanding of the structure and function of the human body as it relates to the practice of medicine. By using surface, radiological and cadaver anatomy, students may acquire a three-dimensional understanding of structural relationships in the living body. Students, working in groups of four, dissect the major structures of the body. Prosections and demonstration specimens are provided for amplification and clarification of adult anatomy. The laboratory work is further supplemented by sessions in which radiological techniques are used to illustrate parts of the bony skeleton, as well as the thoracic and abdominopelvic viscera. Videos that illustrate the anatomy of selected regions of the body are available for repetitive viewing by students. Lectures by faculty stress the more important aspects of anatomy, especially as they relate to the practice of medicine. |

Biochemistry:
|
| This course is designed to introduce students to the fundamentals of modern biochemistry as applied to medicine. The course covers topics such as the nature and properties of enzymes; bioenergetics and the metabolism of carbohydrates and nitrogen compounds; lipids and hormones; and storage, transmission and expression of genetic information. Particular emphasis is placed on those aspects of biochemistry relevant to medical problems. |
