The course requires the basic knowledge of macroscopic morphology, relations, and rudiments of microscopic organization concerning the organs of the systems: locomotor, tegumentary, circulatory, digestive, respiratory, urinary, male and female genital, endocrine, central and peripheral nervous.
Learning Objectives
The student will accomplish the following competencies upon successful completion of the course in Human Morphology II:
1. The student will develop a functional knowledge of the basic nomenclature and conventions used to study human anatomy, review the fundamentals of cell biology and selected tissues of the body.
2. The student will be able to display knowledge of the relative positions and functions of the major body organs as well as their general anatomical locations for the body systems covered in Human Anatomy.
8. The student will be able to identify the anatomy of all the topics mentioned in the program.
Teaching Methods
Lectures with extensive use of images, such as to facilitate the acquisition of fundamental anatomical basis through the stimulation of visual memory.
