The laboratory section for Gross Anatomy will introduce the neuromusculoskeletal system of the axial skeleton, posterior back musculature, and the upper & lower extremities of the body. Material will be disseminated as hands-on dissection of whole-body cadaver specimens as well as study of prosected cadavers dissected by those matriculating in front of you. Emphasis will be placed on comprehension of general nomenclature of the body and respective systems, anatomy of individual osseous structures, articular anatomy and movement, the peripheral nervous system as it relates to motor and cutaneous innervation, and vascularity to include lymphatic drainage. At the end of this course, the learner will not only understand the individual components described but also appreciate their physical and functional relationship to adjacent anatomy.
