This course focuses on the presentation and discussion of vertebrate (primarily mammalian) anatomic forms and physiologic processes. Lectures are heavily devoted to examining molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, and systems physiology while labs provide the opportunity to correlate this information with investigation of anatomic structures. The course includes an introduction to anatomic terminology and exploration of the mechanisms of major processes and the systematic aspects of the integumentary, musculoskeletal, reproductive, and digestive systems.
