MORT 106 - Anatomy for Funeral Service


PREREQUISITES: Declared to MORT AAS Program
PROGRAM: Mortuary Science
CREDIT HOURS MIN: 2
LECTURE HOURS MIN: 2
DATE OF LAST REVISION: Fall, 2015

The study of the human body with particular emphasis on those systems providing the foundation for embalming, pathology, public health and restorative arts.

MAJOR COURSE LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Upon successful completion of this course the student will be expected to:

  1. Define anatomical terminology and body organization sufficient to communicate effectively with fellow allied health professionals, as well as with the lay public.
  2. Compare and contrast among anatomical guides, linear guides, and anatomical limits and explain selected topographical regions
  3. Compare and contrast the different categories of articulations, listing examples of each.
  4. Identify and describe the major layers and accessory structures of the integumentary system.
  5. Identify the major subdivisions of the skeletal system (list and identify individual bones, their numbers, and their important functions.)
  6. Identify major and accessory organs of the digestive system and identify the entry to exit point through the system.
  7. Identify organs of the urinary system and trace the flow of urine through the system.
  8. Identify the major organs of the male and female reproductive systems.
  9. Identify the major organs of the respiratory system and trace the flow of air during inhalation and exhalation. Differentiate between internal and external respiration.
  10. Identify and describe the flow of blood through the major vessels of the cardiovascular system.
  11. Identify the major structures and functions of the cardiovascular system, the blood vascular system, arterial circulation, venus system, and components of the blood.
  12. Identify the major organs and vessels of the lymphatic system.
  13. Identify the location and function of selected endocrine structures
  14. Discuss the major structures and subdivisions of the nervous system.
  15. Locate and identify selected skeletal muscles.
