Course Overview
This course is the second of three consecutive courses examining normal human structure and function. It is available on-line after completion of the first clinical experience. During this course, the pancreas, biliary and genitourinary systems are examined and related to adjacent structures. Emphasis is placed on the gross anatomy, location and anatomical relationships among component organs within the abdominopelvic cavity. These areas of study are then integrated into a sectional imaging approach, viewing parts of the body in all three fundamental body planes. Conventional anatomic presentations are supplemented by images obtained from a variety of diagnostic medical imaging technologies. Physiology is presented where it is relevant to, and contributes to, an understanding of structure and the relationships among adjacent organs, fundamental body processes, functional diagnostic imaging procedures, and important clinical considerations.

Learning Outcomes
Upon successful completion, the student will be able to:
- Identify the pancreas,liver, gallbladder and genitourinary sysem and describe their relationships to adjacent structures.
- Relate structure to physiological function of the pancreas,liver, gallbladder and genitourinary sysem.
- Apply anatomical and physiological principles to the practice of radiographic technology.
- Apply knowledge of anatomy and physiology in the identification and interpretation of conventional X-ray images and CT scans in different body planes.
- Identify the level, orientation, and structures displayed in sectional images of the abdomen and pelvis in transverse and selected sagittal and coronal planes.
