Prerequisites: Consent of chair.
May be repeated more than once. Reading and discussion of literature in selected fields relevant to anatomy. Format and subject matter may be tailored to needs of individual student or small group of students at discretion of chair, student's advisory committee, and faculty member willing to direct readings.
ANAT 7200 Gross Anatomy and Embryology (8) formally ANAT 6200
Prerequisites: Consent of chair.
Human anatomy based on systematic dissection of human body with emphasis on structure-function relationships. Pertinent human embryology and radiologic anatomy integrated topically with area of body being dissected. Relevance of different areas of anatomy and embryology to clinical procedures and/or disease processes presented by practicing clinicians.
ANAT 7202 Molecular Cell Biology* (4) formally ANAT 6202
Same as MCBI 7410
Prerequisites: Consent of course director.
Foundation cornerstone course for students interested in contemporary research career. Principles of modern molecular biology as applied to study of cell structure and function. Fundamentals of molecular and cellular biology of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, and techniques used to study these problems included. Emphasis on critical analysis of experimental data and the experimental basis of current knowledge of cellular processes.
ANAT 7210 Histology and Cell Biology* (4) formally ANAT 6210
Prerequisites: Consent of chair.
Emphasis on light microscopic features of cells, tissue, and organs. Electron microscopic features of cell organelles studies to highlight functions basic to all cells. Both histological and cell biological features integrated with physiological function, pathological abnormalities, and pharmacological treatment.
ANAT 7215 Medical Neuroscience (5) formally ANAT 6215
Same as PHLY 7730
Prerequisites: Consent of chair.
Comprehensive survey and function of human nervous system, including introduction to clinical neuroscience. Lab sessions include dissection of human brain and study of prospected specimens.
ANAT 7230 Developmental Biology (2-4) formally ANAT 6230
Prerequisites: Consent of chair.
Discussion of contemporary concepts in developmental biology. Human embryological formation clearly traced to various cell and molecular biological mechanisms for clear understanding of their role, which is crucial in understanding normal, abnormal, and oncogenic development in humans.
ANAT 7240 Research Problems in Cell Biology* (1-3) formally ANAT 6240
Prerequisites: Consent of chair.
Register for course for 3 semesters. Allow student to begin research activity and explore thesis research topics under guidance of scientist with ongoing research project. Student carefully guided to formulate hypothesis, design experiments, collect data, analyze data, and make conclusions so that research efforts will have high likelihood for seminar presentation, abstract/poster presentation at a national meeting, or journal publication.
ANAT 7250 Seminar in Cell Biology* (1) formally ANAT 6250
Prerequisites: Consent of chair.
Register for course for 4 semesters. Student will attend department seminar series comprised of well-respect scientists describing their recent methodology and research results in current and exciting cell biological problems as related to clinical issues. Students present formal seminar in chosen cell biological area under guidance of faculty. Faculty will instruct the students in scientific content, proper slide preparation, organization, basic public-speaking skills, handling of audience questions, audience awareness, and stage presence.
ANAT 7345 Cell Motility (2) formally ANAT 6345
Same as BIOC 7345; BIOL 7345
Prerequisites: General chemistry, organic chemistry, general biology, and general physics; or consent of instructor.
Multidisciplinary exploration of mechanism, structure, and function of motile systems essential for eukaryotic life.
