Welcome to the Human Anatomy class (Zoology 234) taught by Dr. Jack L. Bath. This is site covers the lecture & the TuTh laboratory (Zoology 234L). Oct. 1, 2004 was the last day to add and the lecture and labs are now closed.

The word "anatomy" literally means the "process of cutting up"...(something): ana, up + tomo, to cut + -y, the process of ...(doing something). The earliest anatomists probably "cut up" animals and plants out of curiosity to see their inner parts. The first attempts at actual study were perhaps in Egypt or Mesopotamia. These early processes of cutting up the body evolved into the "dissections" of modern times. Today dissection (or imagining dissection) of the body is the first step in anatomy and the actual study of the body parts is the second step.

This web site, my first attempt at web page design, was created by using Dreamweaver 4 during S.W.I.M (Summer Web Institutes and Mentoring Program) 2002. SWIM is a service provided by the Faculty Computing Support Center at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. Learning how to build a web page with a program other than Dreamweaver may be difficult, and can be scary like the photo to the left, but I am grateful to our teachers (Drs. Curtis Clark, David Grasmick, and Lona Dequer) and our student assistants (Nathan Wentland and John-Paul Maltes) for making the experience an painless, fun and happy one like the photo to the right.

These are official class materials of Zoology 234 as taught at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, by Jack L. Bath. They are subject to change without notice to anyone but students currently enrolled in the class.
