Welcome to the offical website of the new Center for Anatomical and Movement Sciences (CAMS).
The anatomy lab now has a large screen plasma display linked to a camera system for displaying and recording lab activities and special dissection procedures. The lab is also initiating the use of linked physiology experiments directly associated with the anatomical structures being studies in the adjoining cadaver lab.
Planned improvements for 2008 include new focused lighting over the dissection tables and a digital recording system.
About Us
What We Do
The Center for Anatomical and Movement Sciences (CAMS) is a recently created interdepartmental initiative that originated from the remodeling and expansion of the former Human Anatomy Lab housed in the Department of Exercise and Sport Sciences. Its main goal is to provide anatomical resources to departments across the uptown campus. CAMS main lab offers unique human dissection experience to undergraduate and graduate students from the nine departments associated with the School of Science and Engineering (SSE). Additional labs are being developed to provide hands-on experience with accelerometry, electromyography, metabolic assessment, and spirometry and other movement related physiology.
Who's Involved
CAMS is one of eight specialized centers associated with the School of Science and Engineering. CAMS is an independent SSE facility that allows faculty from associated departments to teach anatomy and physiology within their discipline utilizing an aggregate and centralized resource geared toward interdepartmental relationships.
