Professor Marian Diamond. The functional anatomy of the human body as revealed by gross and microscopic examination. The Department of Integrative Biology offers a program of instruction that focuses on the integration of structure and function in the evolution of diverse biological systems. It investigates integration at all levels of organization from molecules to the biosphere, and in all taxa of organisms from viruses to higher plants and animals. The department uses many traditional fields and levels of complexity in forging new research directions, asking new questions, and answering traditional questions in new ways.
In this lecture, Katie Brakora, the head GSI, introduces the course and the required texts and discusses strategies for success in studying human anatomy. She encourages students to take a systemic view of human anatomy, understanding systems in whole and in part, rather than focusing on memorizing terms. After this introduction, Brakora discusses the attributes of the human brain using a preserved sample. Then, Brakora surveys the history of anatomy, starting with Aristotle's investigations, and walks through the contributions of Galen, Leonardo Da Vinci, and Vesalius before concluding by describing the impact of Henry Gray's publication of Gray's Anatomy.

In this lecture, Professor Diamond reviews the previously covered material on the female reproductive system beginning with a detailed look at the uterus, its composition (in layers), size and function. She pays particular attention to the uterus wall, muscles and how it changes during the menstrual cycle. The menstrual cycle is also explained in terms of hormonal changes, ovulation and physical preparation for fertilization and pregnancy. Following she explains in detail the menstrual flow, amount of blood discharge on average, complications that would lead to the stop of menstrual flow, and what causes cramps. Leaving the uterus, she moves on to the vagina and vulva, noting their size, composition and function. She then discusses their importance in reproduction and how they each contribute during intercourse. She covers the erectile tissue present in the clitoris and in the nipples. Finally Professor Diamond concludes with the hormonal changes in the body during breastfeeding and how this can be used as a method of birth control. The final slideshow depicts photos of the uterus, vagina, breasts, focusing on detailed tissue structure.
