621 Gross Anatomy/Embryology I (2 Hrs.)

Morphology of the upper and lower limbs with dissection. (PR: Permission of instructor)

622 Gross Anatomy/Embryology II (6 Hrs.)

Morphology of the head and neck, thorax, abdomen, pelvis with dissection. (PR: Permission of instructor)

624 Microscopic Anatomy and Ultrastructure (4 Hrs.)

Students study the functional and microscopic aspects of cell and tissue types found in different regions of the human body. Presentation of topics correlates with the physiology course, which runs concurrently and provides an organ system approach to the material. In the laboratory portion of the course, tissues from medical histology slide sets and electron micrographs are studied.

626 Advanced Histological Techniques (4 Hrs.)

Advanced techniques of tissue preparation, staining, histochemistry, and immune localization. (PR: Permission of instructor)

628 Anatomy of the Nervous System (4 Hrs.) – (Password Protected)

The gross and fine structure of the nervous system is correlated with function at each level of the spinal cord and brain. Lectures are supplemented in the laboratory by the study of microscopic sections and gross sections of the spinal cord, brain stem and whole brain. (PR: Permission of instructor)

632 Principals of Mammalian Development (3 Hrs.)

A lecture course designed to present the salient features of normal human development so that students will have a basis for comprehending normal adult anatomic relations and variations, and a basis for interpreting congenital pathologic conditions. (PR: Permission of instructor)

640 Current Topics in Cellular Biology (1 – 3 Hrs.)

Students carry out a guided comprehensive review of the literature on a current research topic. The topic is selected by agreement of the student and faculty member. (PR: Permission of instructor)

641 Electron Microscopy (3 Hrs.)

A study of the theory and practice of scanning and transmission electron microscopy (SEM and TEM). Through the development of individual research projects, students will study SEM and TEM operations, sample preparation, and darkroom procedures. (PR: Permission of instructor)

643 Independent Study in Electron Microscopy (1 – 5 Hrs.)

Supervised individual research projects using advanced electron microscopy (EM) techniques: STEM, SEM, diffraction, and darkfield. (PR: ACB 641 or )

650 Research in Cellular Processes (1 – 4 Hrs.)

An introduction to research in cellular biology and neurobiology. This course is arranged in consultation with an individual faculty member. (PR: Permission of instructor)

655 – Digital Video Imaging

An in-depth study of the theory and practice of fluorescence and confocal microscopy (including Image Deconvolution, Multiphoton Imaging, FRET, FRAP and GFPs), intracellular ion measurements and immunocytochemistry.

660 Current Topics in Neurobiology (1 – 3 Hrs.)

A guided comprehensive review of the literature on a current research topic. The topic is selected by agreement of the student and faculty member. (PR: Permission of instructor)

677 Special Topics: Anatomical Research (1 – 3 Hrs.)

Readings and discussion of contemporary approaches to relationships of structure and function, including three-dimensional modeling, evolution of skeletal anatomy and neural control of limbs in prosthetics and robotics.
