Neuroscience I: Communication Disorders
BIOS1166
This unit of study includes fundamental concepts of nervous system functioning and muscle tissue. Anatomy of the brain and spinal cord is studied using models and human cadavers. Basic mechanisms of spinal reflexes and the function of the somatosensory sensory comprise the physiological component of the unit. Students are also introduced to the anatomy and physiology of the autonomic nervous system and motor pathways. Cases studies aimed at identifying simple neural problems associated with sensory and motor systems are specifically designed for students doing professional preparation degrees. This unit includes laboratory classes in which human cadavers are studied; attendance at such classes is required.
