    Description
    This course provides the supervised study of human anatomy through dissection of a human cadaver. It is a course intended to enhance knowledge gained from a college-level Human Anatomy course by observing and relating those organ systems learned to an actual human cadaver. Students will begin by identifying surface landmarks and relate them to successively deeper structures. Students will develop and refine dissecting skills use on human cadavers. Instruction of human anatomy at this level is intended to assist students pursuing careers in nursing and other allied health professions. This class has limited enrollment. Preregistration counseling with instructor is required. (CSU/UC)
