OPT-7400 Head and Neck Anatomy with Laboratory
Head and Neck Anatomy is an introductory course, and serves as a prerequisite to Neuroanatomy, Neurological Examination and Neuro-ophthalmic Disease courses in the curriculum. The course emphasizes anatomical relationships which support clinical application including imaging and the relationship of the head and neck to organ systems. A case-based approach is often used, especially in lab, to emphasize the anatomy that supports the understanding of visual/ocular emergencies and morbidity as well as common problems of the visual system. This course is designed to specifically facilitate the understanding and integration of normal function and pathological changes in the eye and the nervous system.
