This is an introductory course to bio-sciences as it relates to oral embryology and histology, hand and neck anatomy, and tooth morphology. This course provides information on regions of the face (landmarks) and oral cavity. Upon completion, students will identify planes and associated body direction used to divide the body into sections and describe the four levels of organs of organization of the human body.
