Description of structure and function of the speech production system with emphasis on physical problems in speech, language, and hearing.

Description of structure and function of the speech production system with emphasis on physical problems in speech, language, and hearing. This course does not earn graduate degree credit.

Study of the structure and function of human anatomy, including the neuroendocrine, integumentary, musculoskeletal, digestive, urinary, reproductive, respiratory, and circulatory systems. Content may be either integrated or specialized. Designed for Allied Health students who need a single semester of Anatomy and Physiology. This course will not count as credit toward the Associate of Science degree in Biology. BIOL 2404 is not a substitute for BIOL 2401 and 2402.

This course introduces the structure and function of the human body including medical terminology. Topics covered include information which will provide the medical office assistant with the knowledge needed to communicate with office staff physicians and patients and to assist in completion of medical reports generated in the medical office. Topics include: body structures, body functions, and medical terminology.

Head and Neck This course is designed to study the composition, structure and function of the cells and tissues of the body with emphasis on the head, neck and oral cavity. Embryological development of these structures is traced. Gross anatomy and histologic considerations provide the foundation for understanding of dental oral disease.

LAB. 2. The study of the structure and function of the neuromusculoskeletal system: muscles, nerves and joints of the lower extremity and spine. Develop an understanding of structure, function, and biomechanics of gait as well as clinical neurodynamics. Lecture and laboratory experiences will be utilized. Laboratory will include the use of virtual and/or cadaver dissection. Goal is to provide the student with a three-dimensional understanding of the function of the lower quarter and spine.

Students examine the anatomical structure of the human body as it relates to the art of singing. Attention is given to the function and structure of organs, muscles, cartilage, and bones involved in the respiratory and phonation process needed for singing. Offered fall semester, even numbered years only.

This course is an in-depth study of the static and dynamic aspects of the lower extremity including bony landmarks, muscular/ligamentous attachments, and blood/nerve supply. These topics will be studied through lecture, lab, dissection of human cadavers, and independent study.
