This course is the second of two courses addressing the study of anatomy and physiology. Students will examine the structure and function of the central nervous system and a number of sensory organs important to the practice of the Occupational Therapist Assistant (OTA) and Physiotherapist Assistant (PTA). Students will explore the concept of pain and pain measurement as it pertains to the role of the OTA & PTA.
