Gross and Developmental Anatomy

George W. Mulheron, Ph.D. , Course Director

The Gross and Developmental Anatomy course is a first semester first year course and includes a laboratory experience and dissection of a cadaver. In this course students learn the names of most of the structures of the body, the location of these structures in relation to each other, much about the functional relationships among these structures, and the anatomical basis for certain body functions. Students will identify many structures in various imaging modalities, e.g. radiographs, CT scans, MRI scans and sonograms. The anatomical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of some clinical entities will also be covered. Students are asked to commit to self-directed, life-long learning and to develop an efficient approach to self-study. We hope the process of dissection will help students gain respect for the patient and the patient’s family and the wonder of human life, as well as an appreciation of the importance of teamwork.
