NDT 252 - Anatomy and Physiology for Intraoperative Neuromonitoring

3 CR

Students will participate in an online, semi-asynchronous class environment which will study human anatomy and physiology as they apply to the performance of intraoperative neuromonitoring. In addition to an extensive review of normal anatomy and physiology, students will be introduced to the concept of pathogenesis and implications for intraoperative neuromonitoring. Specific systems covered will include the central nervous, peripheral nervous, skeletal, circulatory, and muscular systems.

Prerequisite(s): Admission to the Intraoperative Neuromonitoring Certificate program

Course Outcomes

Discuss basic and advanced concepts of anatomy, physiology, pathology, and diagnostic processes, as they pertain to the performance of intraoperative neuromonitoring
Define terms used to describe anatomy and physiology
Define different modalities of intraoperative imaging
Identify normal anatomy and physiology of the specific systems covered at different age ranges
Discuss changes in anatomy and physiology of the specific systems covered as seen in abnormal states secondary to disorders, diseases and/or trauma
Correlate changes in anatomy and physiology with changes in test results seen in intraoperative neuromonitoring
