BIOS 6620 - Microanatomy II: Organ Systems


The purpose is to train Master’s and Ph.D. level graduate students in the Department of Biological Sciences in microanatomical structure of human organ systems and how this relates to their physiological functions. Also intended to train graduate students to teach in the microanatomy laboratories offered in a standard medical curriculum. Complements graduate courses in clincal gross anatomy and provides credit for students pursuing a Master’s or Ph.D. in Biological Sciences. A formal and structured approach to training students in microanatomy of huamn tissues and will be taught in conjucntion with anatomy-based courses in the Department of Biological Sciences, including Clinical Gross Anatomy I (Back and Extremeties), Clinical Gross Anatomy 2 (Thorax, Abdomen, Pelvis, and Perineum), and Clinical Gross Anatomy 3 (Head and Neck). Lectures and laboratory exercises will involve examination of prepared slides and discussion of molecular and cellular composition of organ systems of the human body, their interrelationships, and selected pathologies. Each laboratory will address a specific area and associated clinical questions and correlates that will require discussion among students. In addition to weekly quizzes and practical examinations covering the course material on structure and fucntion of organ systems and selected pathologies, students will be required to formally develop and present detailed audio-visual demonstrations of selected histopathological specimens to graduate students and graduate faculty within Biological Sciences.

Requisites:
Credit Hours: 4
Repeat/Retake Information: May not be retaken.
Lecture/Lab Hours: 2.0 lecture, 6.0 laboratory
Grades: Eligible Grades: A-F,WP,WF,WN,FN,AU,I
Learning Outcomes:
  • Students will have a basic appreciation and understanding of the cellular composition of organs.
  • Students will have a basic appreciation for the molecular basis of disease associated with organs.
  • Students will have the ability to use a compound microscope and interpret electron micrographs, and generate digital images.
  • Students will have the knowledge and skills to gather resources, communicate, and teach effectively on topics in microanatomy.
  • Students will know how to recognize organs based on cellular composition and organization.
  • Students will understand functional integration of cells within organs and organ system.
  • Students will understand fundamental relationships between the structure and physiology of organs.
