Biology 322: Human Anatomy
Human Anatomy is a time-consuming and intensive course requiring a lot of conceptualization, visualization, physical labor, and memorization. There are two lectures and two labs per week. Roommates and significant others will often complain about a unique aroma emanating from you after lab periods. Senior Biology majors are given preference in taking Biology 322, along with senior Athletic Training majors. We have four cadavers each spring with 2 lab periods as more than 3 students per side of cadaver would make the dissecting field too crowded.
Why would people enroll in such a course? The reason is obvious, the human body is fascinating! We get an opportunity to carefully dissect four cadavers from toes to brains, observing the complexity, the variation between people, the pathologies, and sometimes the causes of death. People take this class because they are motivated to learn about the body, and are highly interested in human anatomy.
