(6) This unit will examine the biosynthesis and assembly of macro-molecules with emphasis on cell and tissue organization and function. The structure and organization of the skin, nerves and the embryo will be surveyed in detail and used as model systems to study the major biochemical, physiological, genetic and molecular principles of cells.
(14) This unit will discuss the embryological development, gross anatomy, histology and physiology of the cardiovascular, respiratory and renal systems. The biochemistry of lipids and proteins and the anatomy and physiology of the autonomic nervous system will also be covered.
(4) This unit is designed as an introduction to the basic science that will enable the student to understand human reproduction. The embryology, histology, and anatomy of the reproductive tract will be covered. Human development from genetics, to embryo, to parturition, will be explored and how this knowledge can be applied to clinical medicine in resolving problems of infertility, fetal and maternal morbidity, and menopause.
(11) This unit provides an overview of the gross and microscopic structure of the gastrointestinal tract and its accessory organs, along with a grounding in the principles of nutrition and digestion. Emphasis is also placed on those aspects of system and molecular endocrinology which regulate and integrate various metabolic activities.
(6) The objectives of this unit are to study the structure and function of the components of the musculoskeletal and blood systems. The interaction of the structure and function will be examined. The embryology, macroscopic and microscopic anatomy as well as molecular structure and function relating to the musculoskeletal and blood systems will be discussed. Lectures, laboratory sessions, small group seminars as well as audio-visual presentations, multi-discipline clinically applied sessions, computer assisted instruction and independent self-directed learning will be utilized to achieve these goals.
(12) The content of this unit includes the anatomy of the head and neck and anatomical, physiological, biochemical and behavioural aspects of the organization of the nervous system and special senses. The material is presented in an integrated series of lectures and laboratory classes combined with small group clinical problem sessions designed to illustrate the clinical relevance of the material.
(12) Infectious diseases arise from dynamic interactions between humans and microorganisms. Using lectures, case-oriented small groups, laboratory sessions, and independent learning, an integrated overview of the basic microbiology of organisms, our immune defenses and how they may be subverted, and approaches to the prevention and control of infection will be provided.
(20) This unit covers the scientific basis of the diagnosis, prevention and drug therapy of selected diseases. The organ/system approach examining pathogenesis, pathology and pathophysiology, and pharmacological principles of treatment of diseases in the individual is integrated with the epidemiology and genetics in the population.
