PT 777 Biomedical Foundation Sciences III

(9 credits)
The course includes the traditional biological science of gross human anatomy, the physical science of biomechanics and applied anatomy, and components of patient management related to examination, evaluation, and intervention, including advanced topics in the use of imaging in clinical practice. The study of the basic structure and function of the human body is accomplished through lecture, demonstration and dissection. Gross anatomy emphasizes the extremities and trunk, although the whole body is examined. Also included is a review of embryology. The laboratory sessions are devoted primarily to handling the bony skeleton and supervised dissection. Biomechanics and applied anatomy and the clinical content highlight the function of the spine using a patient case for reference.
