Macroscopic and microscopic structures of the human body. Emphasis on gross and microscopic structure of the integumentary, skeletal, muscular, nervous, sensory, endocrine, cardiovascular, lymphatic, respiratory, digestive, excretory and reproductive systems from cellular to organ system levels of organization. Comparison of normal, aging, and diseased structures. This course is primarily intended for nursing, allied health careers such as respiratory technician and radiology technology, kinesiology, and other health related majors.

Study of the anatomy of the human body. The development, structure and components of organ systems of the body will be studied at the gross and histological levels. Laboratory study will include the use of human anatomical models and human skeletons as well as the observation of prosected human cadavers and prepared histology slides.

Alterations in homeostasis and cellular function and diseases of bodily systems. Emphasis is placed on a comparison between disease states and structure and function in healthy individuals.
ANAT 40A Human Prosection
- Units
- 2
- Hours
- Lab: 108
- Prerequisite
- ANAT 35 and Instructor approval required
- Transfers to
- CSU
ANAT 40A is an advanced course in human anatomy in which students prosect anatomical specimens from university Willed Body Programs for use in demonstrations in Anat 35 and Anat 40 classes. Students learn techniques for human prosection while exploring regional superficial and deep human muscles and joints at the gross level. Anatomy 40A and 40B must be taken to receive credit for college level prosection. Students can only earn the Human Prosection Certificate by taking ANAT 40A and ANAT 40B.
ANAT 40B Human Prosection
- Units
- 2
- Hours
- Lab: 108
- Prerequisite
- ANAT 40A
- Transfers to
- CSU
Techniques for human prosection. Regional exploration of the human organ systems at the gross level with emphasis on the organs, blood vessels and nerves of the body cavities.
ANAT 99 Special Projects in Anatomy
- Units
- 2
- Hours
- Lecture: 36
- Prerequisite
- Approved Independent Study Learning Contract
- Transfers to
- CSU
Offers selected students recognition for their academic interest in anatomy and the opportunity to explore the discipline of anatomy in greater depth. The content of the course and the methods of study vary from semester to semester and depend on the particular project under consideration. Instructor's authorization is required to enroll in this course.
