BIOL 622 - Functional Human Anatomy II

4 Credits
This course is a continuation of an in-depth study of regional human gross anatomy, and the function and integration of the neuro-musculoskeletal systems. Emphasis is placed on structures and functions of the head and neck and the central and peripheral nervous systems. At the end of this course, students will integrate content from both semesters to analyze common musculoskeletal and neurological conditions. Course content will be delivered by lecture and virtual study of the human body.

Course Learning Outcomes:
1. Evaluate the anatomical organization and functions of the cerebral cortex, internal capsule, cerebellum, brainstem, and spinal cord.
2. Relate the structures, pathways and functions of independent somatosensory and motor tracts to motor function, coordination, movement and sensory integration.
3. Predict musculoskeletal deficits from lesions in the brain, spinal cord, major nerves, and plexuses.
4. Assess the skeletal, muscular, nervous, vascular, and lymphatic structures of the head and neck.
5. Analyze common musculoskeletal and neurological conditions.
6. Differentiate the functions of the cranial nerves.
7. Demonstrate the movements of independent and skeletal muscle groups of the head and neck.
8. Describe the anatomical organization and function of the auditory, vestibular, and visual systems.
9. Describe the muscle groups required for deglutition and phonation.
