    Description
    Supervised study of human anatomy through dissection of a human cadaver. Enhances knowledge gained from BIO 140 (Human Anatomy) by observing and relating those organ systems learned to an actual human cadaver. Students will identify surface landmarks and relate them to successively deeper structures, and will develop and refine dissecting skills used on human cadavers. Instruction of human anatomy at this level is intended to assist students pursuing careers in nursing and other allied health professions. Preregistration counseling with instructor is required; class size is limited. (CSU/UC)
