Students are provided with a clear understanding of normal relationships between structure and function of cell types, tissues and body fluids, and organs and organ systems as a foundation for recognizing structural and functional changes that result in abnormalities in processes of the human body. Information is provided through the liberal use of diagrams, models, organ dissections, laboratory experiments and demonstrations, videos presentations and computer simulations.
