Anatomical Sciences I is the first in a series of two courses designed to provide students with a comprehensive understanding of human anatomy. Anatomical Sciences I covers the topics of human microscopic anatomy (histology) and neuroanatomy. In the microscopic anatomy portion of Anatomical Sciences I, students will be introduced to various histological methods and the impact these methods have on the appearance of histological preparations. Students will also be exposed to a systematic analytical approach to tissue and organ identification, with an emphasis on structure and function relationship. In the neuroanatomy portion of Anatomical Sciences I, the structure and function of both the peripheral and central nervous systems will be emphasized. Students will engage in a detailed exploration of the various sensory and motor systems, including a comprehensive study of cranial nerves and their clinical relevance to the field of dentistry. Critical thinking and clinical problem solving are emphasized throughout the course using clinical case studies from the literature.
