ANAT 35  Human Anatomy

5 Units (Degree Applicable, CSU, UC)
UC Credit Limitation
Lecture: 54   Lab: 108
Prerequisite: BIOL 1 or BIOL 4 or BIOL 4H

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.
