ANS 00505 - Human Developmental Anatomy

Credits: 3

Unlike typical embryology courses, this course takes a regional approach like most courses in human gross anatomy and focuses on the morphogenic movements underlying the development of regional anatomy and the contained organs. Where appropriate, the principles and mechanisms of morphogenesis and dysmorphogenesis are brought into discussion without heavy reliance on an understanding of complex genetics and signaling pathways. The prominent clinical consequences of dysmorphogenesis, i.e., anomalies, syndromes, etc., are discussed with each topic. Thus, this course is particularly suited for students of the anatomical sciences. *This course is only open to students in the Anatomical Sciences program.*
