series arc offered primarily [or that program but are open to medical students

by

special arrangement.

501. HISTOLOGY.

(31.2.)

This course gives the student a familiarity with the normal structure of the principal tissues and organs of the bodr' Fresh tissues are used wherever possible [or the demonstration of norma cellular function, and in analyzing the characteristics of particular cells. SPRING.

502. GROSS ANATOMY. (32.1) This course is devoted to a systematic dis- section of the human body. The instruction

is

largely individual aod the work of the student is made as independent as possible. FALL.

Dr. Adkins and Staff.

503. NEUROLOGY. (32-3) A basic course with emphasis upon a systematic study of the neuroanatomy and physiology of the human nervous system.

Correlated features of neurochemistry and neuropharmacology are coo- sidered and clinical material is utilized to emphasize the basic anatomy aod physiology. Four hours of lecture and four hours of lab per week. Pre- requisite: a background in biology and chemistry.

steroid synthesis; mechanism of steroid hormone regulation of protein synthesis in target tissues; synthesis and mechanism of action of pituitary trophic peptides; organ maturation, teratology and cancer. The bio- chemical endocrinology of reproduction and the regulation of cell and organ development will

be

heavily emphasized. This course is presented as a fundamental aspect of biologic science. Sessions will be given by faculty actively engaged in research in the above fields of development and molecu- lar biology. (Obstetrics and Gynecology p.I). Three hours per week.

he elective course will introduce problems in medical ethics to be presented y competent authorities in medicine, law, religion, psychology, sociology, nd public health administration. Typical subjects to be discussed will be hose most relevant to modern medical practice, such as: abortion, birth ontrol, the dying patient, euthanasia, congenital abnormalities, drug use nd abuse, doctor-patient relationships, use and abuse of public funds, genetic ontrol, etc. Discussion of these topics will be in the form of an intro- Uctory statement followed by open discussion.
