This course presents gross structure of the human body using a regional approach. Topics include topographic and functional anatomy, clinical correlations, and an introduction to radiology. The course provides the descriptive basis for understanding human structure and function encountered in succeeding courses and medical practice. Lecture, 4 hours/week (M,W,R); Laboratory, 6 hours/week (M,W,R); Credit hours, 6; contact hours, 10 hours/week.

Explores vertebrate evolution in a phylogenetic, ontogenetic, and stratigraphic framework. Students discuss recent ideas in paleontology from scientific literature and/or instructor-led exercises. Appreciation of homologies and autapomorphies is gained through exploration of extant verterbrate anatomy. Communication skills are developed through oral presentations and writing. Students will demonstrate a synthesis of concepts by integrating a chosen evolutionary theme into these activities.Prerequisite(s): Comparative anatomy or human anatomy, and assumes an undergraduate level understanding of vertebrate paleontology, biology, and evolution.

Recognize and interpret modern and fossil bone tissue microstructures. The contributions of paleohistology to understanding extinct vertebrate physiology will be explored through discussions of peer reviewed articles. Students will receive hands-on training in paleohistology techniques.Prerequisite(s): Undergraduate level understanding of biology, evolution, and histology.
