The Cellular and Systems Structures Module has been designed to integrate the basic discipline of Development, Gross Anatomy and Histology. This body of knowledge will emphasize the structure-function relationships at the tissue, organ, and systemic levels of the human body. As such, the Module provides a foundation for understanding normal Physiology and Pathology (MEDI 5215-5255), where altered structure and function of diseased cells, tissues and organs are studied.
The Cellular and Systems Processes Module is designed to provide students with a basic understanding of the biological mechanisms by which the body responds to internal and external stimuli by building on the structure-function knowledge of previous Modules (ITD5115 and ITD5125). Students will understand the pathological responses to these stimuli by examining the interplay between the biochemical and physiological mechanisms, and how the latter can be influenced by genetics.
The Brain and Behavior Module will provide students with a comprehensive survey of the structure and function of the nervous system and extend the studies begun in the Cellular and Systems Structures Module. The module will also introduce students to clinical neuroscience by demonstrating the link between disease process and altered human behavior. Finally, students will be become familiar with treatment options for mental health disorders at the pharmacological and behavioral intervention levels.
