6000  Survey of Neuroanatomy (2)
   Lecture format. Required course for dental students.

6010  Gross Anatomy of the Human (9)
   Required course for medical students. Includes lectures, weekly dissection hours, demonstrations, and clinical correlations.

6030  Medical Histology (5)
   Required course for medical students. Four lecture hours, four laboratory hours weekly. Detailed micro-anatomy of tissues and organs.

6050  Medical Neuroanatomy (3)
   Required course for medical students. Gross and microscopic study of the central nervous system. Lectures, laboratory and discussion sessions.

6060  Medical Embryology (2)
   Required course for medical students. Lecture format.

6070  Oral Histology (3)
   Microscopic and developmental anatomy of normal cells, tissues and organs of the oral cavity, with stress on the teeth and related tissues.

6910  Prosection (2) Prerequisite: ANAT 6010.
   Preparations of special dissections for demonstrations in gross anatomy.

6920  Graduate Instruction (1 to 20)
   Graduate instructions in various aspects of anatomy.

6921  Special Dissections in Gross Anatomy (3 to 5) Prerequisite: ANAT 6010
   This elective is designed for fourth year medical students who want to perform cadaver dissection to renew their knowledge of human gross anatomy. A region or organ system for dissection will be selected, with input from the course director, based on the student's interest. In the past student enrollees have determined that they will specialize in surgery, othropedic surgery, neurosurgery, obstretrics and gynecology, or ear, nose and throat. Cost to the student is based on the region to be dissected. The fee is transferred to the Body Donor Program to help defray the cost of preparing the cadever for dissection.
