BC5157 Integrated Nervous System
This module includes the detailed anatomy, embryology and physiology of the brain, spinal cord and spinal nerves. Students integrate structure-function relationships for both the somatic motor and autonomic divisions of the peripheral nervous system. Students also address the integrative functions of the cerebral cortex and sensory and motor pathways required to predict sensory and motor deficits that occur with specific lesions. Lab includes work with sectioned brains and applications of functional concepts. Scientific concepts for the nervous system are applied to the development of clinical skills, including testing of somatic reflexes in the Clinical Skills 3 module that is taken concurrently. Lecture is taught in a hybrid-online format.
