Description:
The gross anatomy course provides an in-depth study of the human body using cadaveric dissection. Additional
emphasis is placed on developmental anatomy and normal radiographic anatomy.
Electronic Exam:
If electronic examinations are to be implemented, further detailed instructions will be amended to this course syllabus
and posted to the course site.
Course Goals & Objectives:
Goals
The students, at the end of this course, will be expected to have a thorough understanding of gross anatomy,
embryology and radiographic anatomy of the human body.
One of the unique privileges in the anatomy course will be dissection of the human body. Students will have the
opportunity to explore in depth what will later have to be recalled from memory. Dissection exercises will provide the
students with a unique opportunity of examining the entire body. Even surgeons get only fleeting glimpses of parts of
the body. Study of developmental anatomy and radiographic anatomy will provide yet another perspective in
studying the human body.
Although anatomical structures are static in death, they are constantly changing in life. Hence, there is a necessity
for making functional anatomy one of the goals of this course. The anatomy faculty will endeavor to meet this goal by
stressing not only clinical significance, but also interrelationships of anatomy with other disciplines.

List the bones and bony landmarks of the axial and appendicular skeleton.
List and describe the joints of the body including ligaments and normal variations.
List the detailed origin, insertion, innervation and function of all muscles of the body.
List and describe the arterial, venous and lymphatic pathways of the body.
Describe the sensory and motor innervation of different parts of the body.
Describe the normal and variant gross anatomy of the organ systems of the human body.
Describe the normal and variant developmental anatomy of the various organ systems of the human body.
Describe normal radiographic anatomy of the body.
Requirements:
LECTURE/LAB ATTENDANCE
Attendance at scheduled lectures
Attendance: is required at all scheduled gross anatomy lectures.
Attendance at laboratory sessions
Attendance is mandatory in the gross anatomy labs and attendance will be taken. Each student will be
allowed two (2) absences from laboratory sessions during the semester without penalty. Additional
absences will result in a failing grade in gross anatomy course. If you miss a lab you are diminishing the
educational experience of the other students in your lab group. The students in your lab group are
depending on your participation to complete the lab exercise for the day.
Should extraordinary circumstances require a student to miss more than two lab sessions, the student must
submit a written petition to the chief coordinator of the course stating the reason for the absence as well as
any necessary documentation. This should be done as soon as possible and MUST be done no later than
one week from the absence in question. Failure to submit a written petition for excusal from lab will result in
a failing grade. Vacations, weddings, and other voluntary personal activities do not count as extraordinary
circumstances and will not be excused.
We have set aside a total of five points for professionalism in gross labs. Students must earn these points by
coming prepared to the lab sessions, keeping cadaver tables clean, properly taking care of the cadavers
and acting professionally in the lab at all times.

Attributes & Core Competencies:
This course reflects and addresses the following American Osteopathic Association Core Competencies:
II. B. Medical Knowledge
II. E. Professionalism
The gross anatomy course objectives meet the medical knowledge and professionalism core
competencies. The core competency of professionalism is addressed by the unique privilege of dissection
of a human body in the gross anatomy lab. The human cadavers are obtained through the donation of
individuals who wish to further the education of medical students. As such, the honor of learning the art of
anatomy from these individuals demands our utmost respect. The human cadaver is your “first patient”
and the student will maintain professional behavior during the dissection activities.
As a part of professional behavior we will also expect the students to keep their cadaver tables and the
general work area around the cadaver clean at all times. This behavior, regarding your experience with
the cadaver also extends outside the confines of the anatomy laboratories.
Evaluation:
As per student handbook:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
No student may have any books, notes, or electronic equipment (cell phone, computer,
calculator, etc.) on his/her desk or person during an examination or quiz unless directed to do so
by the course coordinator.
Do not bring backpacks, I-Pods, radios, food and/or drinks in the exam room.
Students are required to be present in the exam room at the start of the exam. Students arriving
late will not be allowed to take the exam.
Students are strongly discouraged to take bathroom breaks during the examination. However any
student feeling a need to use the bathroom will be required to sign a log book before leaving and
on returning to the exam room.
Proctors will not answer any questions or provide any explanation concerning the exam questions.
Page 4
DO Gross Anatomy
August 12, 2013 – May 2, 2014
Students not conforming to the above regulations will be reported to the course coordinator and may be
reported to the Student Promotion and Evaluation Committee (SPEC) for further action.
Test questions will come from the lecture material, handouts, required text books and observations in the
laboratory.
Copying, retention and/or dissemination of exam questions, or requesting such material from fellow
students will be considered an act of cheating and therefore subject to academic discipline.
The Anatomy Department will retain all exam booklets at the end of each examination.
GRADING
The final grade in this course will be determined by dividing the total number of points earned (written and
lab exam scores and professionalism score) by the total number of points possible in the course. A student
must earn 70% of the total number of points possible to pass the course. Final course grade cannot exceed
100%.
Grading Scale:
A+
A
AB+

F
77 – 79%
70 – 76%
69% or below
Points awarded for Anatomy Seminars and Grand Round presentations will be considered extra credit
points and will be added to your total score.
Final grades will be rounded up for percentage grades of .50 or higher. For instance, a final grade of 79.50
would be rounded up to an 80% (B-) but a 79.49 would remain at 79% (C+).
ADVANCED DISSECTION IN ANATOMY SEMINARS AND GRAND ROUNDS
The students are encouraged to attend the noon-time seminars presented by the 2nd year MSA students
enrolled in the Advanced Dissection in Anatomy course and Grand Rounds presented by Physical
Diagnosis Department. Dates and titles of the Seminars and Grand Rounds will be announced on Angel.
Students will be awarded one point per session as an incentive for attending. It is the student’s responsibility
to sign the attendance sheet to receive credit.
WRITTEN (LECTURE) EXAMINATIONS
If you have a disability and need accommodations, you must request them by contacting the
Accommodations Officer in Educational Support Services, accommodations@dmu.edu, and submit an
application with the necessary documentation. Please note that accommodations should be submitted
well in advance of the date needed.
The following procedure will be followed for the questions in the lecture exams:
1.
2.
3.
About 10% of the questions in the written exams II – VI will consist of material covered in the
previous exam.
What appears on the computer-graded answer sheet determines the score on the written exam.
No other document will be used for this purpose.
Students will have an opportunity to review the exam questions during a scheduled exam review
session for the entire class. Copies of the exam will be available for the students at this time. During
the review session, the students will not be allowed to bring into the room their computers, books or
Page 5
DO Gross Anatomy
August 12, 2013 – May 2, 2014
any other electronic equipment including cell phones. Failure to do so will force the faculty to
cancel the session.
LABORATORY/PRACTICAL EXAMINATIONS
Concerns involving the practical exam questions will be brought to the attention of the chief coordinator
within two days (48 hours) after the end of the scheduled exam.
MAKE-UP POLICY
Make-up examinations will be granted according to the Student Handbook for your class. The format of the
examination will be at the discretion of the faculty and may include multiple choice, short answer, or short
essay type questions.
In the event that a student believes that exceptional circumstances not covered in the Student Handbook
have caused a missed examination, the student should contact the chief coordinator of the course at
extension 1694. The chief coordinator will make a determination on the merits of the exceptional
circumstances.
RE-EVALUATION OF THE COURSE
Students who fail the gross anatomy course will either enroll in the summer re-evaluation program or repeat
the course at its next offering.
The summer re-evaluation examinations will be scheduled by the Registrar during the summer following the
year in which the failure occurred. If the student passes the summer re-evaluation examination his/her final
course grade will be entered as F/C.

Anatomy Laboratory Rules and Regulations
1.
2.
It is especially appropriate to demonstrate in Anatomy Laboratory the philosophy, habits of
conduct, and personal appearance associated with being a medical student. You are in the
presence of the dead and therefore, it is understood that you will act with respect at all times.
The honor of learning the art of anatomy from donated bodies calls for the highest levels of respect
both inside and outside the lab. Out of respect for body donors and their families, students are not
to discuss or disclose any information pertaining to the cadaver, or to describe dissection
procedures, outside of the anatomy lab. If information is brought to the attention of the anatomy
department that students have been discussing or disclosing these details by way of email, social
networking sites (Facebook, Twitter, Blogs, etc.) or conversations in public places then those
students involved in this misconduct will receive a failing grade entered as “0”, in the laboratory (all
practical examination scores) portion of the anatomy course. Please see “Professional Standards
for Students Using Social Media” in your student handbook.

There will be no drinking or eating in the laboratory. Photographing cadaver specimens is not
permitted. Cell phones and radios are not allowed in the gross labs.
Cadavers must be kept clean and moist. At the beginning of each session cadavers must be
inspected from head to toe and front to back for mold, etc. Solutions are provided to aid students
in maintaining cadavers in the best possible condition. At the end of each study session the area
around your table must be cleaned and the cadaver properly covered. Failure to do so will be
considered unprofessional behavior and subject to disciplinary action.
Cadaver materials which are removed during dissection are to be placed in tissue containers
located at one end of the cadaver table.
Used scalpels are to be placed in appropriately designated containers.
Special instruments and materials which are provided only long enough to accomplish a given
procedure must be returned as soon as practical to the supply table. Never leave them overnight
in the cadaver tables.
Audiovisual aids may not be taken from the laboratory.
Students must secure permission of an instructor to enter the supply and/or preparation rooms.
PLEASE NOTE: Visitors are not allowed in the gross anatomy labs at any time.
Students who are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or have respiratory problems must inform the
course coordinator or the chair of the anatomy department. Students will be directed to the
Health and Safety Coordinator for education on the risks of formaldehyde exposure.
Students are required to wear a clean laboratory coat and gloves at all times. Used gloves must be
discarded in the designated waste containers in the Laboratory. They must not be carried out of
the Laboratory.
Computers in the gross lab are there only for accessing the lab instructions. They are not to be
used for “surfing” the Internet or other personal use.
Dress Requirements
OSHA regulations require that all personnel in the Gross Anatomy Laboratories wear a long lab coat,
gloves, and close toe shoes. No shorts will be allowed. These rules apply at all times including evenings
and weekends. If you are not in compliance with these rules you will not be permitted to stay in the
laboratory.

Policies:
1.
Policies and Procedures for Skin Cuts
All first year medical students are to have an updated tetanus booster before acceptance into university
programs.
When a student receives a cut or puncture in the gross anatomy lab, it is the responsibility of the student to
clean and bandage the wound, and fill out an incident report form.
Antiseptic soap, antibiotic cream and bandages are available in the gross labs for this purpose within the
First Aid Cabinets in Gross lab rooms 125 and 129.
When cut, the student shall:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
7.

2.
Locate First Aid cabinet near the sink in Ryan Hall Rooms 125 and 129
Bleed the cut under running water.
Clean the cut with antiseptic soap.
Use Betadine swabs and antibiotic cream to dress the cut.
Place a Band-Aid over the wound.
An incident report form MUST be filled out and submitted within 24 hours of the incident to the
Health and Safety Coordinator. (The online “Incident Report Form” is on Student Pulse. Hard copy
forms are located within the First Aid cabinets).
If the injury is such that medical attention is necessary and/or the student chooses to be seen by a
physician (either at the University clinic or outside the University), the student may do so assuming
full responsibility for any medical charges incurred.
An incident report form must be filled out and sent to the Clinic Administration
Policy for Accidental Eye Contact by Tissue and Embalming Fluid
The student, upon entering the anatomy laboratory, should locate eye-wash bottles (in each laboratory
room) and/or eye-wash basin (located in Ryan 125, south end of the anatomy laboratory).
When accidental eye splash or contact occurs the student shall:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
3.
Immediately notify the anatomy facilitator, teaching assistant or a lab group member.
Locate the closest eye-wash bottle and/or eye-wash basin and flush the eye with all of the bottled
solution and water.
If flushing with the eye-wash bottle, move to the eye-wash basin and continue flushing eye for
another 15-20 minutes. If the students still feels that the eye is affected continue flushing the eye.
If the injury is such that medical attention is necessary and/or the student chooses to be seen by a
physician (either at the University clinic or outside the University), the student may do so assuming
full responsibility of any medical charges incurred.
A Student Injury Report Form must be filled out and submitted within 24 hours of the incident to the
Health and Safety Coordinator. The location of the online “Student Injury Report Form” is on
Pulse/Students/Student Health/Injury Reporting. Hard copy forms are located within the First Aid
cabinets.
