A215: Basic Human Anatomy

My Role:

• One of two graduate teaching assistants in two lab sections

• Demonstrate anatomical structures to undergraduate students using prosected cadaveric materials

• Grade exams

• Lead lab review sessions

• Assisted with creation of active-learning lab modules

Course Description:

This course presents a systemic approach to the study of the human body. Lecture presentation begins with an introduction of anatomical terminology and an overview of cellular processes and tissue classification. Students then learn the gross and microscopic anatomy of the following systems: integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, circulatory, respiratory, digestive, urinary, and reproductive. The laboratory component of the course generally parallels and reinforces lecture concepts through the use of models, histological slides, skeletal materials and cadaver demonstration. Lectures meet three times weekly. Students also attend two 2-hour labs per week.
