This course will give you in-depth learning around the anatomy of the human nervous system and its neuroanatomical structures and function, from the cellular level to organ system level. This class is fully online and asynchronous so you can learn on your own schedule!
In this course, you’ll dive into the functionality of sensory, motor, limbic, cognitive, visual, vestibular and ventricle systems and how they relate to the nervous system. Cases and lab experiences will help you reinforce your understanding of key concepts and neurological conditions — especially those most relevant to occupational therapists and similar professions.
This course is offered in 7- and 14-week options during fall, spring, and summer semesters. Please email anatomy@pointloma.edu to find out how to register or for more info about the course.
