Anatomical Sciences II

SDM MD 511

A coordinated presentation of the material normally found in the traditional courses of gross anatomy, histology, and neuroanatomy. Gross anatomy is treated in its broadest aspects. There is a distinct emphasis on clinical applications of anatomical principles and on the use of the Socratic method. Morphology is learned by lecture, dissection, films, and clinical discussions. Clinical instructors in the various dental departments instruct students in the examination of the oral cavity, eye, ear, nose, and throat. The last section of this course gives an integrated view of the nervous system. Instructors discuss the specific anatomical structure of the central and peripheral nervous systems and use clinical correlations to show the effects of lesions on various areas of the nervous system.
